Israeli forces today established a temporary checkpoint on the road linking the town of Eastern Samadaniya and the city of Khan Arnabeh in the Quneitra countryside. They stopped pedestrians and subjected them to searches, disrupting civilian movement.

The move came as Israeli military movements and incursions continued in several parts of the province.

Earlier today, an Israeli patrol comprising three vehicles entered the area via the road between the village of Ofaniya and Khan Arnabeh. The patrol took up positions near a post belonging to the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), before setting up a temporary checkpoint, searching vehicles and checking the identities of passersby. It later withdrew.
