Israeli soldiers advanced toward villages in southwestern Syria on 26 July and set up a checkpoint at Al-Ardah, with shelling heard nearby and leaflets warning residents not to obstruct the vehicles, according to Syria's state news agency SANA, Al Jazeera reported. Guterres, visiting Syria, wrote that 'violations by Israel of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement are unacceptable & must stop' and said the UN would report to the Security Council by the end of the month. President al-Sharaa told Al Jazeera Damascus was working toward a security agreement with Israel.
