Israel has taken advantage of the collapse of the al-Assad regime to advance into southwestern Syria.
Quneitra, Syria – Ibrahim al-Dakheel, 55, watched in despair as an Israeli bulldozer demolished his 40-year-old home, claiming it was necessary to secure borders.
“It was 6:30am when I heard the explosion,” he told Al Jazeera, pointing to the spot where a Syrian military post once stood near his destroyed house.
He and his family live in al-Rafid, a village in the Quneitra governorate.
Al-Dakheel used to sit in his front yard, enjoying the lush green fields and a flowing spring nearby. Nothing brought him greater joy, he said.
But now, he and his family are seeking refuge at his parents’ house in the village while he continues to watch Israeli forces advance.
