Israeli forces opened fire on agricultural land situated between Buraiqa and Kodana in southern Quneitra, Syria, according to Al-Ikhbariah TV on Sunday. In response, Syria, Qatar, and Jordan vehemently denounced Israel's decision to resume construction on the Sofa 53 project within the buffer zone established under the 1974 disengagement agreement.
This contentious project, also referred to as the Great Storm, stretches from northern Quneitra towards the convergence point of the Syrian, Jordanian, and Israeli borders. The Syrian Foreign Ministry declared Israel's renewed excavation work near the border with the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as a "flagrant breach" of the 1974 deal.
Qatar and Jordan echoed this condemnation, with Qatar branding the project as a violation of Syrian sovereignty and international law, and Jordan urging Israel to cease all actions targeting Syria.
