The Israeli army detained a young man during a raid on the village of Maariya in the countryside of Daraa in southern Syria, according to Syrian state television Al-Ikhbariya.
Israeli forces raided the village, which they have occupied, Al Ekhbariya reported.
The army detained a young man during the raid, before withdrawing and heading toward the Jazira barracks.
The village, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, has seen repeated Israeli military incursions since forces advanced into the area after the fall of Bashar al Assad’s regime in December 2024.
Israel captured most of the Golan in 1967 and annexed it in 1981, a move not recognised by most of the international community; it has maintained positions beyond the 1974 disengagement buffer zone, citing security needs.
Syrian authorities describe the incursions as violations of sovereignty involving raids and detentions.
Similar short-term detentions and incursions have been frequently reported in the Yarmouk Basin.
