Israeli machine-gun fire reported in Syria's Quneitra province

The Israeli army on Friday opened machine-gun fire toward areas in Syria’s southern Quneitra countryside, official Syrian media reported. 

Israeli forces fired medium-caliber machine guns from the Western Tal Ahmar position toward the Eastern Tal Ahmar in the southern rural Quneitra province, state-run Al-Ikhbariya reported. 

Israeli forces have carried out regular incursions into Syria in recent weeks, attacking civilians, destroying forest areas and setting up checkpoints. 

Israel also continues to carry out near-daily strikes in Lebanon, despite a ceasefire that came into force in November last year.
