Syrian media reported that Israeli occupation forces detained four young men from the village of Jumla in western Daraa during a raid early Saturday morning.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Israeli special forces infiltrated the village and moved through it before detaining the young men and establishing a temporary checkpoint at the village entrance, amid intensive surveillance by reconnaissance drones.

The sources noted that the Israeli occupation forces remained in the village for about an hour, during which six Israeli military vehicles were observed, before withdrawing toward the occupied Golan Heights.

A day earlier, Israeli occupation forces carried out a similar raid in the villages of Ain Ziwan and Ain al-Abed in Quneitra countryside, near the occupied Golan region, deploying several military vehicles in a limited incursion amid heightened security in the area.

Israeli occupation patrol infiltrates Daraa, withdraws under gunfire

Last month, an Israeli occupation force patrol consisting of three vehicles infiltrated the perimeter of the village of Koya in the western countryside of Daraa.

The Israeli patrol reportedly set up a temporary checkpoint between the villages of Ma'ariya and Koya before it came under fire from an unknown origin, forcing it to withdraw toward the al-Jazeera barracks.

At the time, an Israeli military force entered the village of Ma'ariya in the Yarmouk Basin, setting up a temporary checkpoint on its eastern side to stop and search pedestrians. In contrast, a separate force moved toward the villages of Koya and Abdeen.

Following the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad on December 8, 2024, Israeli assaults on Syria have escalated, marked by near-daily ground incursions conducted by Israeli forces into border villages across the countryside of Daraa, Quneitra, and rural Damascus.

'Israel' displaces residents, Syria aims for security deal

Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused "Israel" on September 17 of committing war crimes in southern Syria, including forcibly displacing residents and demolishing homes in the buffer zone of the occupied Golan Heights.

HRW stated that Israeli forces, which have occupied parts of southern Syria since December 2024, have carried out a range of abuses against residents, including forced displacement, and the group added that testimonies, satellite imagery, and visual evidence corroborated accounts of arbitrary arrests and the blocking of livelihoods.

The report coincides with Syrian state media reports that Israeli forces detained several people in the south and came a day after Damascus announced it was working with Washington to reach mutual "security understandings" with "Israel".

Syrian transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa also confirmed in statements to Turkish media on September 19 that Syria is nearing a US-mediated security agreement with "Israel", which he stated could be finalized in the coming days.

He emphasized that the agreement would be similar to the 1974 disengagement accord, clarifying that it does not indicate any form of normalization between Damascus and Tel Aviv nor is it related to the "Abraham Accords".
