Jul 27, 2026

Damascus [Syria], July 27: The head of the United Nations has condemned the persistent violation of Syria's sovereignty, as Israel's forces reportedly carried out new incursions into its neighbour's territory.
Israeli soldiers advanced towards villages in southwestern Syria on Sunday, setting up a checkpoint at Al-Ardah, while shelling was also heard nearby, Syria's state news agency SANA reported. Leaflets were dropped warning residents against attempting to obstruct the advance of Israeli vehicles.
The incursion came as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, on a visit to Syria, condemned Israel's violations. "Syria's sovereignty, independence, unity & territorial integrity must be fully respected," he wrote in a social media post. "Violations by Israel of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement are unacceptable & must stop."
Speaking at a press conference, he said that the UN is set to submit a comprehensive report to the UN Security Council on the issue at the end of the month.
