Quneitra, June 24 (SANA) Israeli occupation forces detained a civilian during an incursion into the southern countryside of Syria’s Quneitra province on Wednesday before withdrawing from the area, according to local residents.
The residents told SANA’s reporter in the province that a force consisting of four Israeli military vehicles entered the area and set up a temporary checkpoint on the road linking the village of al-Muallaqa and the town of Ghadeer al-Bustan.
A civilian was detained while passing through the checkpoint, the residents said, adding that the force later withdrew from the area.
The incident follows another Israeli military incursion on Tuesday, when a force accompanied by two tanks entered Tel Abu Qubais in the southern countryside of Quneitra.
Syria continues to condemn Israel’s repeated violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement, including incursions into southern Syrian territory, attacks on civilians, home raids, arrests, land bulldozing, and shelling incidents.
Syria stresses that all measures taken by Israeli forces inside Syrian territory are null and void and carry no legal effect under international law. It also calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities, put an end to these violations and ensure Israel’s full withdrawal from southern Syria.
