On Wednesday, an Israeli military force entered the village of Saida al-Hanout in the southern countryside of Quneitra near the border strip and conducted raids and searches of residential homes, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

According to the Observatory, the infiltrating forces raided five homes and conducted interrogation with residents, including a journalist working at the Quneitra Media Directorate who was questioned inside his home during the operation.

The Israeli forces also conducted oral interviews with residents of approximately ten additional homes, focusing on the nature of their jobs as well as their family and personal circumstances, without carrying out any searches inside those residences.

This incident occurs amid the ongoing Israeli military incursions into southern Syria.
