Earlier today, an Israeli patrol moved into the vicinity of the town of Saida in southern Quneitra countryside, where it established a temporary checkpoint as part of repeated violations in southern Syria.

In a separate incident, a patrol consisting of six vehicles departed from the Tal al-Ahmar al-Gharbi base toward the village of Ain Ziwan in central Quneitra countryside. There, it set up a temporary checkpoint and searched residents’ homes before withdrawing, with no information reported about arrests.

In a related context, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported yesterday the arrest of a young man from the village of Saida al-Golan after an Israeli patrol infiltrated the village at dawn, raided a house, and detained him before withdrawing.
