The force carried out a raid campaign targeting several homes in the village, resulting in the arrest of a man and his son before they were taken to an unknown location, according to the “Daraa 24” website.

A patrol from the forces had stormed the town of Jabata al-Khashab northwest of the city of Quneitra in southern Syria, and arrested a number of people the Wednesday before last.

According to Syrian media, the Israeli army infiltrated the town of Jabata al-Khashab, searched one of the houses, and arrested seven young men.

These movements come in the context of a noticeable Israeli escalation in southern Syria since the departure of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government in December 2024.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin said, “Israel wants to establish a demilitarized zone in southern Syria, including Sweida.”
