Israel expands into southern Syria: 1,672 violations in 9 months, building a 'smart border'
A report by the Syrian monitoring center Sijil reveals Israel has committed at least 1,672 violations inside Syrian territory from August 2025 to May 2026, including building military bases, seizing land, and spraying chemicals. The violations escalated after the fall of the Assad government in December 2024, with Israel launching ground operations and airstrikes deep into southern Syria.
