The Syrian Future Movement follows with grave condemnation and concern the report issued by Amnesty International on Thursday, May 14, 2026, documenting the deliberate destruction of civilian homes in Quneitra Governorate, southern Syria, by Israeli forces. This constitutes a war crime. The documentation is based on satellite imagery and eyewitness accounts from eight residents of the area who witnessed their families being displaced and their homes being demolished by bulldozers or explosives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First: The Syrian Future Movement affirms the validity of the warning issued by Amnesty International and strongly condemns the crimes committed by Israel against unarmed civilians in southern Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second: The Syrian Future Movement reminds the international community that Israeli military activity in southern Syria has not ceased for a moment since December 8, 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the very day the former regime fell, Israeli forces crossed the occupied Syrian Golan Heights (Syrian territory occupied by Israel since 1967) into the demilitarized zone in Quneitra Governorate. Since then, the occupying forces have carried out more than 1,500 ground incursions into Syrian villages and towns, and human rights organizations have documented more than 1,500 violations attributed to the occupation during the first half of 2016 alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third: The Syrian Future Movement reviews the report’s findings, which confirm beyond any doubt that what is happening is a systematic policy, not isolated incidents. Several villages have been completely evacuated in the past six months, and at least 23 civilian buildings have been destroyed or damaged. There are also reports of at least two additional homes being destroyed, agricultural lands being bulldozed, and forests and pastures being cleared, all without any active fighting in these areas. This pattern, which Amnesty International has described as “a hallmark of Israeli military operations,” has been previously documented in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and is now being deliberately repeated in southern Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fourth: The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes that these violations constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and violate the spirit and letter of the Fourth Geneva Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International law mandates the protection of civilian property in occupied territories and prohibits its destruction without absolute military necessity. Therefore, the Syrian Future Movement demands an immediate and independent international investigation into these crimes and stresses the need to hold those responsible accountable and provide just compensation to the victims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fifth: The Syrian Future Movement recalls its previous statements published on its official website, which affirm its unwavering stance in defending national sovereignty and rejecting Israeli violations. Among the most prominent of these statements are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sixth: The Syrian Future Movement urges the Syrian government and the international community to take immediate action on a set of measures to address these violations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In conclusion: The Syrian Future Movement affirms that its silence on Israel\u2019s crimes today encourages it to go further tomorrow, and that the fragile transitional phase requires a clear and firm sovereign stance that does not accept compromise. The historical responsibility that rests on the shoulders of the Syrian government and the international community requires no leniency in protecting civilians and pursuing criminals. The new Syria that we are all working for is a Syria with full sovereignty over all its territory, and this sovereignty will not be complete as long as Israeli crimes are committed in broad daylight without punishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amnesty International report reveals serious warning about Israel’s destruction of civilian homes in southern Syria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":64225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179],"tags":[4706],"class_list":["post-64227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-political-office-en","tag-press-release"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
