The report indicated that during the operation, Israeli troops destroyed ammunition depots and dismantled the remaining military infrastructure. Concurrently, local Syrian sources revealed that Israeli occupation forces had infiltrated Quneitra, advancing to the town of Mashara and severing the road between Mashara and al-Tayha. This maneuver occurred amidst ongoing reconnaissance flights by Israeli aircraft.
Additionally, Israeli Air Force jets targeted military sites in Qardaha, hitting equipment associated with the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad, including an air defense base. This follows last week's aggressive actions in Tartous, western Syria, and a series of raids on military positions in southern Damascus and Daraa.
At the same time, the Prime Minister of the occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that 'Israel' will not 'allow the forces of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham or the new Syrian army to enter the area south of Damascus,' and demanded 'the complete evacuation of southern Syria – in the provinces of Quneitra, Daraa and Sweida – from the forces of the new regime.'

Iran Threatens to Strike Secret Israeli Nuclear Plants
Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced that the Israeli enemy's target bank is on the table of the armed forces, after Tehran revealed it had obtained a large amount of sensitive strategic information and documents related to 'Israel'. The council explained in a statement on Monday that the complex intelligence operation carried out by members of the 'Soldiers of Imam Mahdi' unit represents a major intelligence gain and is part of a quiet and precise strategy pursued by the Iranian state in confronting enemy campaigns. 'This breakthrough comes within the framework of smart planning and quiet procedures and is being complemented on the ground through the armed forces' continuous, day and night, unpretentious struggle with the aim of creating an operational capability which commensurate with the strengths and weaknesses of the Zionist entity and its supporters.' The council explained that access to this data today and the completion of the intelligence and operational cycle have enabled the Mujahideen of Islam to respond immediately to any potential attack by the Zionist entity on Iran's nuclear facilities, by targeting its secret nuclear facilities, and to respond in kind to any sabotage against economic or military infrastructure in a precise and proportionate manner, consistent with the type of attack. Earlier, Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib unveiled the trove of secret 'Israeli' documents the country has obtained are related to the occupying entity's nuclear facilities and will enhance Iran's offensive capabilities. Separately, Iran received 'elements' of the US proposal last week regarding an agreement on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, but considered the proposal contains 'many ambiguities' and confirmed that it would soon submit its own proposal for an agreement with Washington.
