Syrian television Alikhbaria said an Israeli patrol detained an unidentified young man at Ain Al-Qadi farm in the southern Quneitra countryside during the raid.

The agency said the incident marked the second such operation, following a similar one carried out Sunday that targeted forested areas and farmlands near the villages of Al-Asha, Kodna and Al-Asbah, as well as the town of Al-Rafid in southern Quneitra countryside.

Israeli occupation forces have continued to target Syrian territory at an almost daily pace, carrying out ground incursions particularly in the Quneitra and Daraa countryside in southern Syria, detaining civilians, setting up checkpoints to search and question passersby, and damaging agricultural land.
Israel has occupied most of Syria’s Golan Heights since 1967 and, following the ouster of the Bashar Al-Assad regime on Dec. 8, 2024, announced the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement and moved to occupy the Syrian buffer zone.
