(photo credit: AYAL MARGOLIN/FLASH90) Syria has said it strongly condemned Israel’s near-daily operations that occur along the Golan border. According to Syrian state media SANA , “Syria has strongly condemned escalating Israeli occupation forces’ incursions into Quneitra province and the countryside of Daraa in recent days, alongside increased helicopter, reconnaissance, and military aircraft activity over southern Syria.” Israel has operated in this buffer zone and in Syrian villages near the Golan since the fall of the Assad regime.

The Syrian government was initially relatively quiet on this issue.

Plans involved deton...

Shabwa is an energy-rich province in coastal south-central Yemen.
