DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s army said Sunday that it kidnapped several individuals during raids in southern Syria and took them inside the occupied territories for interrogation.
A military statement said that forces of the army’s 210th Division conducted several raids in southern Syria over the last week against what it called “weapons warehouses.”
The army said several people were held and brought into Israeli-occupied territories for “detailed questioning.”
Although the new Syrian administration has not issued threats against the Zionist regime, the Israeli military has intensified its aggression inside Syria since the ouster of Bashar al-Assad’s government in late 2024.
These violations have included deadly airstrikes that killed civilians and destroyed Syrian army positions, vehicles, and ammunition. Zionist troops have also carried out incursions into the Quneitra and Rif Dimashq provinces.
Since 1967, the Zionist regime has occupied the majority of Syria’s Golan Heights. In the aftermath of Assad’s fall, Tel Aviv expanded its occupation in the Syrian buffer zone and declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria defunct.
Assad, who ruled Syria for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia in December, ending the Baath Party’s decades-long grip on power that began in 1963.
A new transitional administration led by militant Abu Mohammaed al-Jolani was formed in Syria in January.
