Amnesty International has called for a war crimes investigation into what it describes as the deliberate destruction of civilian homes by Israeli forces in the Quneitra governorate (a rural province in southern Syria bordering the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights). The human rights organisation said satellite imagery confirmed that 23 buildings in three villages inside a UN-patrolled buffer zone had been damaged or destroyed since December 2024, following Israel's military incursion into the area after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government. Amnesty's deputy regional director Kristine Beckerle stated that the illegal destruction of civilian property had become a hallmark of Israeli military operations across the region, arguing that border security concerns cannot justify razing homes on another country's territory.
