Residents of Quneitra Call for International Action Against Israeli Occupation
Residents of Quneitra, a region in southern Syria, are urging the international community to intervene following a recent incursion by Israeli forces. This call to action comes in the wake of the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, which has led to increased tensions and military movements in the area. Local villagers are organizing protests to demand an end to the Israeli occupation, emphasizing the need for Arab countries to exert pressure on Israel to withdraw from Syrian territory.
Israeli Forces' Incursion and Its Impact on Local Communities
In recent days, Israeli tanks and troops have entered several villages in the Quneitra Governorate, imposing a siege that restricts residents' movements. Shadi Al-Hariri, a local resident, reported that the occupation forces have set up positions near the governorate building in Al-Baath, just 4 kilometers from the border with the occupied Golan Heights. The siege has led to severe limitations on daily activities, with residents only allowed to leave their homes to obtain essential supplies like bread.
Local Residents Express Fear and Uncertainty
The situation has created an atmosphere of fear among the local population. Abdul Rahman Al-Jabawi, another resident, expressed concerns that the Israeli presence might lead to a permanent occupation of the area. Despite reassurances from Israeli military officials that the incursion is a precautionary measure, many locals remain skeptical. They are determined to voice their opposition through organized demonstrations, calling for the international community and Arab nations to take action against the Israeli forces' encroachment in Quneitra.
