An Israeli military force infiltrated the Wadi al-Raqad area in the western Daraa countryside on Saturday, before later withdrawing.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the force consisted of four military vehicles that traveled along the Ain al-Tineh road towards a location known as al-Aqrabiyah. No reports of clashes or arrests were received.

Earlier in the day, another Israeli force, also consisting of four vehicles, entered the village of al-Razaniyah in the Quneitra countryside from the Abu al-Ghaithar gate. They entered the village and established a temporary military checkpoint within a residential neighborhood.

Israeli forces conducted searches in the area before withdrawing from the village. No arrests were reported.

These movements are part of repeated Israeli military incursions into southern Syria, particularly in the rural areas of Daraa and Quneitra.
