Israel launches incursion into Syria as UN condemns

Israeli forces advanced into southwestern Syria on Sunday, setting up checkpoints and dropping leaflets, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned violations of Syria's sovereignty during his visit. Guterres called for the immediate lifting of sanctions and said the UN would submit a report on the matter to the Security Council. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Damascus seeks a security agreement with Israel but maintains its claim to the occupied Golan Heights.
