Israeli forces fired three shells at the outskirts of Jamla village in the Yarmouk Basin area of northwestern Daraa province, Syria, over the past 90 minutes through 3:45 p.m. UTC on December 16, according to Syrianobserve1 on X. A local source stated the shelling targeted suspected presence of an armed cell inside former military barracks. This incident follows Israeli shelling of Jamlah and nearby Kuwiya village outskirts reported earlier in the day by QalaatAlMudiq on X during the prior reporting window ending at 2:16 p.m. UTC. Separately, the Syrian Democratic Forces accused Damascus government factions of deliberately striking their fighters with a suicide FPV drone while evacuating wounded civilians on the Deir Hafer front, injuring two fighters to varying degrees this afternoon, according to a translated SDF statement shared by NotWoofers on X during the same period. The statement read: "Two of our fighters were injured in a suicide plane explosion while treating civilians in Deir Hafer." These developments occur amid earlier reports today of Israel and the United States reaching understandings permitting continued Israeli targeting of threats in Syria, according to Israeli Channel 15 sources cited by Spectrum News.
