  "summary": "Israeli forces have entered Syria's Quneitra region and fired flares, resulting in a fire that has been extinguished by local civil defence teams. According to the Quneitra Media Directorate, the fire was caused by the flares fired by the Israeli forces. This incident is part of a series of frequent incursions by Israeli military vehicles into Syrian villages and parts of the buffer zone since 2024, where they conduct house raids and detain local civilians. On 27 July, the Israeli army detained a civilian after raiding his home in Quneitra province.",
