The Israeli occupation arrests 5 Syrians in the countryside of Quneitra

The Israeli occupation forces arrested five people from the countryside of Quneitra governorate, including minor children, after he carried out two incursions and two surprise incursions after midnight yesterday and early Sunday.

Local sources reported that a military patrol of the occupation army, supported by armored vehicles, penetrated deep into the town of "Jabata Al-Khashb" located in the northern countryside of the governorate, where it raided a number of houses and kidnapped 4 people, including minors, and took them to detention centers inside the occupied Syrian Golan  without formal charges being brought against them.

The same incursive force targeted the farm of "Saida El Hanout" in a parallel axis in the southern countryside of Quneitra, where the patrol kidnapped 17-year-old Issa Abdullah al-Shaniour.

These attacks coincided with another incursion that took place less than 24 hours ago in the village of "Abu Madhara" in the south of the governorate, during which the occupation army detained a young man for several hours before he was later released, which reflects a remarkable escalation in the pace of random field pursuits and arrests against residents who cling to their land.

Extensive inspections in the "Nest"

In this context,  local sources in the area reported that the occupation forces infiltrating the town of Madara, southwest of Quneitra, conducted an arbitrary search of houses, followed by the incursion of another force on Saturday morning in the village of "Al-Asha" in the southern countryside of Quneitra, which is exactly adjacent to the barbed wire separating the occupied Syrian Golan from the buffer zone.

The  residents of the town recorded a prominent national position by their absolute refusal to receive relief aid and supplies that the Israeli forces tried to distribute to them as a kind of humanitarian propaganda before their withdrawal.

Similarly, patrols moved towards the area of al-Kassarat and Jabatha al-Khabar in the northern countryside, to search passers-by and set up a temporary military checkpoint on the main road.

In addition, local sources confirmed that these continuous violations   have had a serious impact on the safety of civilians, as the young man Ali Ahmed Ali Al-Khader (from the village of Al-Basali in Quneitra) was  recently injured  by direct fire fired by the occupation soldiers while he was practicing the profession of grazing livestock in the area of Wadi Al-Raqqad in the western countryside of Daraa.

 The director of Daraa National Hospital, Dr. Nizar Al-Rashdan, confirmed the arrival of the injured man suffering from two gunshot wounds that lodged in the forearm and thigh after receiving first aid from the UN monitoring forces.

This incident was reminiscent of the arrest of two other herders  , Ali Al-Awda and Ali Ahmed Al-Ahmad, on May 20, following the raid on the "Al-Basali" and "Um Al-Luqs" farms, a systematic policy aimed at tightening the noose on farmers and depriving them of natural resources and vital agricultural pastures.

These near-daily Israeli incursions and violations in the countryside of Quneitra and parts of the Daraa countryside come within a new reality on the ground and strategy imposed by the occupation on the area, where the Israeli army hastened to establish a number of stationing points and fixed and temporary military bases deep in the southern Syrian Strip.
