Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said that forces from the Mountain Brigade, in coordination with Unit 504, carried out the operation after detecting suspicious movements along the border. He added that the force intervened, arrested those involved, and confiscated the weapons, noting that the detainees were transferred for investigation.

Last Thursday morning, Israeli forces conducted a new incursion into several villages south of Quneitra, coinciding with intensive air raids by Israeli warplanes over southern Syria.

Israeli forces also increased their movements in the Quneitra countryside, where they advanced around the town of Sayda al-Hanout and established a new checkpoint amid tightened security measures.
