Israeli forces detain 2 Syrians after raid on homes and shops in Quneitra

DAMASCUS: Israeli forces detained two people after raiding homes and damaging shops during an incursion into the town of Jabata al-Khashab in southern Syria, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

A force of more than nine military vehicles entered the town in the northern countryside of Quneitra on Nov. 13, searched several homes and detained three people, one of whom was subsequently released, SANA reported, citing its correspondent in the province.

Israeli soldiers also broke down the doors of several shops and smashed their storefronts, causing material damage.

The latest raid adds to a series of Israeli military incursions, arrests and attacks reported across southern Syria since the ouster of Bashar Assad in December 2024.
