LONDON: Israeli forces conducted an incursion into the Wadi Al-Raqad area in the Daraa countryside and arrested six residents from villages in Quneitra, southern Syrian Arab Republic.

On Wednesday, an Israeli force comprising seven military vehicles entered Wadi Al-Raqad and set up a checkpoint on the Al-Raqad bridge. Additionally, six other vehicles were stationed at the Tell Abu Al-Ghithar gate, as reported by the Syrian Arab News Agency.

Israeli forces arrested six individuals from the villages of Ain Al-Abd, Kodna, and Al-Asbah in the southern Quneitra countryside, and conducted another incursion into the village of Saida Al-Golan in the area.

The Syrian government has repeatedly condemned Israeli incursions into its territory, including raids, arrests, and land razing in the south, saying that they violate the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.

Syria stresses that the presence of Israeli forces on its territory is “illegitimate” and that all Israeli measures in the region are “null and void and have no legal effect” under international law, the SANA added.
