Military escalation in Daraa and Sweida: Israeli airstrikes and flyovers.

In a field scene signaling a new escalation in southern Syria, fierce clashes broke out this evening with heavy weapons between armed groups on the outskirts of the administrative borders between the provinces of Daraa and Al-Suwayda, specifically on the Daraa - Thaala axis. The two sides exchanged shelling with mortars and heavy machine guns, amid reports of injuries and panic among civilians in areas near the conflict lines. Amidst these developments, Israeli reconnaissance aircraft intensively flew over the skies of Daraa province, raising speculations about possibilities of escalation and widening tension, especially given the increasing military movements of the occupation in southern Syria in recent weeks. This escalation brings southern Syria back to the forefront, raising questions about the driving forces behind these sudden clashes, and whether these confrontations are a prelude to broader changes in the security and military landscape of the region, which has been witnessing escalating tensions for months with an absence of any sustainable political solutions.
