On March 25, Israel escalated its actions in southern Syria, specifically in Daraa, significantly surpassing previous violations by launching tank shells in the village of Koya in the Yarmouk Basin, following resistance from local residents against an Israeli military incursion into the area.

A reporter for Enab Baladi reported at the time that young men from Koya confronted an incursion by the Israeli army, which responded by shooting, killing two of them. This was followed by Israeli tank shelling on the village’s homes, amounting to around ten shells, resulting in the death of six people and the injury of seven others, as documented by the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR).
