Israeli forces on Saturday opened fire toward homes during an incursion into Saida Al-Hanout village in Quneitra countryside, Southern Syria, the state-run SANA news agency reported.

An Israeli military patrol also directly targeted media crews in the area, accusing the troops of attempting to prevent journalists from documenting the incursion. No casualties were reported, although continued gunfire caused tension among residents, SANA said.

Earlier today, Israeli forces fired several artillery shells toward the outskirts of Abdeen town in Daraa countryside.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), Israeli helicopters were flying over the Yarmouk Basin in western Daraa, with no strikes reported. Israeli forces also advanced along the Kodna road in southern Quneitra with about seven vehicles, set up a checkpoint, and searched passersby.
