On Sunday, reports from Syria’s state-run Al-Ikhbariah TV indicated that Israeli forces conducted shelling operations targeting agricultural land situated between the villages of Buraiqa and Kodana in the southern Quneitra region. While the specific intent or casualties of the shelling remain unconfirmed by independent observers, the incident occurred amid heightened regional tensions regarding Israeli activities near the Golan Heights.

Concurrent with the shelling, a diplomatic backlash has emerged regarding Israel's continued development of the "Sofa 53" project, also referred to as the "Great Storm." This initiative involves the construction of a military road that began in 2022. The project is located within the buffer zone established by the 1974 disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria. Syria, Qatar, and Jordan have formally denounced these construction efforts, characterizing them as a violation of the established status quo in the region. The road reportedly stretches from the northern part of Quneitra, though further details on the project's exact strategic scope remain limited in current reporting.
