9 bases belonging to the Israeli occupation in Syria

Since the fall  of the former Syrian regime, the Israeli occupation army has established 9 military bases in southern Syria, which are used as staging stations for incursions and raids on civilian homes.

Recent months have seen  the  establishment of the Hamidiyah base, one of the most prominent bases in this military deployment, as part of strengthening field control and expanding the scope of movements in the area.

The Israeli bases are distributed in locations of military importance, including the Al-Talul al-Hamr base, which enables the occupation forces to monitor most of the areas of Quneitra up to the borders of Daraa, in addition to the bases of Jabata Al-Khashb, Dik al-Naml, Al-Qahtaniya, Kodna, Abdeen, and Ma'ariyah, in addition to an observation point in the slopes of Jabal al-Sheikh.
