Israeli occupation forces carried out fresh military movements Sunday evening in the Daraa and Quneitra countryside near Syria's southern border, Shehab Wire reported. The operations included an incursion into Maaria village in the Yarmouk Basin area of western Daraa countryside, concurrent with the detention of a local resident near the town of al-Raf.
The incidents represent renewed Israeli military activity in zones near the Syrian border. The region is subject to the 1974 disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria, which established a demilitarized buffer zone along their shared frontier. Sunday's movements signal a pattern of Israeli incursions into southern Syrian territory, a practice that has periodically drawn international concern regarding compliance with the decades-old ceasefire arrangement.
