Fire extinguished in southern Syria after Israeli forces fire flares

Civil defence teams have extinguished a fire that broke out near the town of al-Rafid in Syria’s Quneitra region following Israeli incursions into the area, according to local authorities.

The Quneitra Media Directorate said in a post on Telegram that “the fire was caused by flares fired” by Israeli forces.

“No injuries were reported,” it added.

The Anadolu news agency meanwhile reported that Israeli forces had raided al-Rafid and searched several homes there. The raid is part of a string of Israeli incursions into southern Syria since 2024, when Israel moved troops into a UN-monitored buffer zone and seized Syrian territory there.
