Another Israeli occupation unit, consisting of a single vehicle, entered the vicinity of Umm al-Ezam village and set up a checkpoint at the junction of al-Mushairfa and Ruwayhina villages.
Separately, a force of three vehicles, including two military Hummers, entered Ruwayhina and moved toward the dam, the reporter said.
On Thursday, Israeli forces entered the village of al-Hiran and al-Deraiya hill west of al-Muaallaqa village, abducting a young man and bulldozing land.
Since December 2024, the Zionist entity has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes on Syria and more than 400 cross-border raids into the southern provinces.
After the fall of former president Bashar al-Assad’s regime in late 2024, the Zionist entity expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated a 1974 agreement with Syria.
