Israeli forces carried out a fresh ground incursion into Syria's Quneitra region, entering the village of al-Basali and searching a home before withdrawing, part of a pattern of raids in the UN-monitored buffer zone Israel has occupied since 2024. Separately, Israel launched airstrikes on targets elsewhere in Syria, continuing a pattern of unilateral military action inside the country. US envoy Tom Barrack has publicly criticized Israel for failing to give Washington adequate advance notice before its strikes on a Syrian military base, a claim Israeli officials deny. The rebuke highlights friction between Washington and Tel Aviv over coordination on Syria policy, as the US seeks to manage relations with Syria's new government while Israel continues independent military operations there.
