Quneitra offensive (June 2017)

[34][35][1] Syrian military sources reported the Israeli strikes hit the Mafrazeh Al-Jisr checkpoint, killing two soldiers.

[39] Later in the day, shelling between both sides took place[40][1] and in the evening a major government counter-attack retook all remaining territory that the rebel forces had captured during the offensive.

[34][42][38] The next morning, the rebels hit Madinat al-Baath with a barrage of TOW anti-tank missiles in an attempt to restart their offensive.

[43] On 1 July, the Syrian Army, supported by the National Defence Forces, continued their counter-attack, reporting they had recaptured the quarries area west of Baath City and thus reversing all rebel gains during the offensive.

[50] Besides minor violations from all sides involved, including machine gun fire on an Irish base on the Golan Heights,[10] the ceasefire held though mid-July.

[58] In mid-October 2017, the Syrian Army launched an operation in the nearby region known as Western Ghouta, capturing Tal Bard’ayyah hill and thus securing fire control over the town of Beit Jinn, held by HTS.

[60] During this time, Israel conducted several strikes against Syrian Army artillery positions due to errant rocket fire hitting Israeli-held parts of the Golan Heights.

[61][62] In mid-2018, the Syrian military was preparing to launch an offensive against rebel forces in the Quneitra Governorate, as part of a greater campaign in Southern Syria.
