Israeli forces infiltrate southern Syria, strike Homs

Firemen work at the site of an Israeli missile strike in Damascus, Syria, on Thursday, March 13, 2025.

An Israeli military convoy has advanced from Tal al-Ahmar al-Gharbi toward the village of al-Asha in the southern countryside of Quneitra, southern Syria.  

At the same time, Syrian outlets confirmed that Israeli airstrikes struck the Palmyra military airport in Homs province.

The latest Israeli offensive comes just days after Israeli air raids targeted areas west of Daraa, resulting in the deaths of two civilians and injuring 19 others due to powerful blasts.

The Israeli military’s offensives have increasingly focused on Syrian infrastructure, dismantling critical facilities and occupying roughly 600 square kilometers in southern Syria.

In another act of aggression, Israeli forces demolished the Abu Darwish military post near al-Nasiriyah in Quneitra, with around 50 military vehicles entering the village of al-Adnaniyah. 

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, tanks and bulldozers also crossed into al-Asha from the west, moving through al-Hiran and al-Asbah en route to Tel al-Mahir.

Throughout the past week, Israeli regime launched a series of airstrikes across multiple Syrian locations, intensifying pressure on civilian infrastructure.

Last week, Israeli military aircraft carried out airstrikes against military installations once belonging to ousted president Bashar al-Assad's army but now used by the forces of Syria's new authorities in the central province of Homs.

Local media outlets reported that the aerial raids struck military sites in Shinshar and Shamsin villages, southwest of the provincial capital city of Homs, on Tuesday.
