Israeli occupation forces on Saturday raided a residential building in Wadi al-Ruqqad in Syria's western Daraa countryside, according to Syrian state broadcaster Alikhbaria TV. "An Israeli occupation forces patrol raided a house in Wadi al-Ruqqad in western Daraa countryside and conducted a search," the channel said, providing no further details about the raid.
Pattern of incursions
The incident forms part of a broader pattern of Israeli military activity across southern Syria, where troops have conducted repeated incursions, arrests, and raids for several months. The region has witnessed escalating violations since the collapse of the previous government.
Israeli violations intensified following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's government in December 2024, when Tel Aviv declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement void and seized control of the Syrian buffer zone.
