Israeli forces briefly detain Syrian man during incursion into Quneitra: SANA

According to the agency, Israeli forces also entered the village of Maariya in the western countryside of Daraa and the village of Al-Bassali in the southern countryside of Quneitra on Tuesday.

There was no immediate comment from Israeli authorities on the incident.

Following the fall of Bashar al Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024, Israel declared the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria void and deepened its occupation in the Golan Heights into the UN-monitored buffer zone. Syria’s new administration has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to the agreement.

Despite the absence of direct threats from Syria’s new leadership, Israel has continued air strikes and ground attacks in Syria, causing civilian casualties and damage to military infrastructure.
