Daraa, May 13 (SANA) Israeli occupation forces detained a Syrian man for several hours during a raid on the village of Ma’riya in the Yarmouk Basin area of western Daraa province on Wednesday.
SANA’s reporter in Daraa said Israeli troops entered the western side of the village, stormed a house and took a young man into custody before releasing him several hours later.
The raid came amid heightened military activity in the area, including drone overflights that have increased tensions among residents.
The reporter added that Israeli forces shelled overnight the areas between the towns of Abdeen and Ma’riya in western Daraa province.
In a separate incident in neighboring Quneitra province, Israeli forces briefly entered the village of Saida al-Golan on Wednesday morning, searching several homes before withdrawing, according to state media.
Israel has continued violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement through military incursions into southern Syria, as well as raids, arrests and land bulldozing operations affecting local residents.
Syria has repeatedly called for Israel’s withdrawal from its territory, stating that all measures taken by Israeli forces in southern Syria are “null and void” under international law and carry no legal effect. Damascus has also urged the international community to assume its responsibilities, halt Israeli actions and press for a full withdrawal from southern Syria.
