Even Syria didn't escape Israeli terrorism: “Twenty years of hard work, gone in half an hour.” Syrian journalist Nour al-Hassan walks through what is left of an olive grove west of Mazraat al-Hanut, near the village of Saida al-Hanut in southern Quneitra, after Israeli occupation tanks drove into it and flattened more than 300 olive trees. The tank tracks are still visible in the soil as young men from the area saw the broken trunks into firewood and families gather whatever olives survived. Quneitra’s farmers’ union says the occupation army razed around 13 dunams of olive groves in the area and has stopped families from reaching the rest of their fields to harvest. The report was filmed on October 22, 2026, the same day occupation troops stormed the village of Jamla in the western Daraa countryside, posted snipers on the roofs of homes, and shot dead a young man with Down syndrome. Syria’s Civil Defence says the soldiers then left his body at the border fence. That morning, occupation forces also raided homes in Tranjeh in northern Quneitra. Since the fall of the Assad government in December 2024, the occupation army has pushed beyond the 1974 disengagement line into southern Syria, carrying out near-daily incursions, arrests and land clearing. @Nuorgolan
