Israeli occupation forces reportedly establishing base on strategic Syrian peak —— Israeli occupation forces have begun transferring heavy military equipment and advanced technology to the summit of Jabal al-Arab in Syria’s southern Sweida governorate in preparation to establish a permanent military base, according to local sources cited by Nabd al-Sham and Syria 360. The strategic height, located in a predominantly Druze region, is expected to house sophisticated early-warning radar systems and surveillance equipment aimed at expanding Israeli intelligence coverage across southern Syria. Local reports indicate that dozens of Israeli military helicopters conducted heavy airlift operations over a 72-hour period, transporting significant quantities of arms, tactical hardware, and surveillance gear to the summit. The air bridges represent a major logistical movement deep inside Syrian territory as Israeli forces continue expanding their footprint beyond the occupied Golan Heights. In response to the rapid buildup, local Druze authorities issued strict orders banning civilians from approaching, inspecting, or photographing the newly designated military zones. The unauthorized establishment of an Israeli base on Jabal al-Arab marks a severe escalation in Tel Aviv's ongoing military encroachment into southern Syria, threatening to further destabilize the region.
