Israeli forces raid Syria’s Daraa countryside, detain resident
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Israeli army forces advanced on Saturday toward Wadi al-Raqad in the Yarmouk Basin area of Daraa western countryside, southern Syria, and detained a local resident.
Syria’s state-run news agency SANA reported that around 12 Israeli military vehicles crossed through the Tel Abu al-Ghaythar gate along the separation line with the Golan Heights.
The forces entered the village of Hamata, deployed inside it, raided a young man’s house, and arrested him before withdrawing toward the Golan, SANA said.
On Friday, Israeli forces shelled the vicinity of the village of Jamla in the Yarmouk Basin, Daraa Governorate, with several artillery rounds, causing material damage to agricultural lands.
Areas in the western countryside of Daraa have witnessed repeated incidents involving Israeli fire on locations and farmland, in what Syrian sources describe as violations of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement.
