On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, twelve Israeli military vehicles entered the village of Saida al-Golan in the Quneitra countryside of southern Syria. This incursion occurred while Syrian and Israeli delegations were engaged in U.S.-mediated negotiations in Paris. According to Syrian state news agency SANA, the talks aimed to restore Syria's national rights. Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Israel has expanded its occupation beyond the Golan Heights and conducted frequent raids and bombardments in southern Syria. These actions, including near-daily incursions involving arrests and land bulldozing, have caused public anger. According to ACLED, Israel has launched an average of nearly two attacks a day across Syria over the past year.
