Exegesis
Each additional toponym—tser {צֵר | ṣēr}, khammat {חַמַּת | ḥam-mmat}, rakkat {רַקַּת | raq-qat}, and kinneret {כִנָּרֶת | kin-nā-ret}—is introduced by ve {וְ | wə-}, forming an asyndetic list that emphasizes enumeration. English translates the construct chain as 'fortress towns' and preserves the series structure with coordinating conjunctions before the final item.
