Israeli forces killed a disabled man during a raid in Syria's Deraa governorate. The military continues to operate in the region despite official protests.
Israeli soldiers killed a disabled man during a military operation in southern Syria. Syrian state media agency SANA reported the incident on Thursday.
The shooting took place in Jamla village within the Deraa region. Reports indicate that Israeli troops positioned snipers on building rooftops.
Next, emergency workers transported the victim to a nearby national hospital. The Israeli military has not yet commented on the situation.
Also, Israeli forces have increased their activity in the region. They recently entered Syrian territory to conduct raids and destroy local olive groves.
Meanwhile, soldiers searched several homes in the village of Turnejeh. They arrested one person during that specific operation on Thursday.
After that, Israeli troops damaged many trees in a large field near Saida. These actions follow a pattern of frequent military incursions into Syria.
However, the Syrian government strongly objects to these movements. President Ahmed al-Sharaa claims these actions harm regional peace and security.
Furthermore, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a formal condemnation. They criticized the growing number of Israeli military raids in Deraa and Quneitra.
Still, Israeli officials maintain their goal of controlling a security zone. They insist on keeping troops stationed within southern Syrian territory.
Finally, diplomatic efforts to resolve these tensions remain difficult. Both countries previously started talks, but negotiations stalled after the war on Iran began.
