Two Syrian children were injured on Monday as a result of Israeli forces opening fire on civilians in Daraa province, southern Syria.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported "two children were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation forces opening fire towards a group of citizens in the village of Jamla in the Yarmouk Basin area in the western countryside of Daraa".

The reasons and motives for the shooting were not immediately clear, and the Syrian authorities did not comment on the incident, which comes as Israel continues to violate the sovereignty of the Arab country.

For months, southern Syria has witnessed repeated Israeli incursions and attacks, including raids, searches, and arrests, as well as the establishment of military checkpoints.

These movements escalated after the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December 2024, and Israel's declaration of the collapse of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, and its seizure of the Syrian buffer zone.
