Syrian media report that one person was wounded after IDF troops opened fire on demonstrators in southern Syria.
According to the local Daraa 24 outlet, residents of towns in the Yarmouk River basin gathered near a former Syrian army post close to the village of Ma’ariya to protest against the IDF presence in Syria.
The outlet says IDF troops opened fire in the air to stop the demonstrators from approaching, and one person was hit directly and wounded.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
