Israeli forces raided two villages in southern Syria on Wednesday morning, searching homes and detaining a young man, in the latest violation of the country’s sovereignty.
The SANA news agency said Israeli forces moved into the village of Saida al-Golan in southern Quneitra countryside, with troops searching a number of homes before withdrawing from the area.
Separately, Israeli forces detained a young man during an incursion into the village of Maariya in the Yarmouk Basin area of western Daraa countryside, the agency said.
According to SANA, an Israeli patrol entered the western neighbourhood of Maariya, raided a home and detained a young man from the village before releasing him hours later.
The incursion came as Israeli reconnaissance aircraft flew over the area, raising tensions and concern among residents.
