The IDF says that its forces carried out a series of overnight operations in southern Syria, detaining several suspects accused of advancing terror activity against Israeli troops in the area.
The raids, conducted by the 226th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade under the 210th “Bashan” Regional Division with assistance from field investigators in Military Intelligence’s Unit 504, also uncovered weapons during searches, the army says.
Israeli forces remain deployed in the buffer zone to prevent the entrenchment of terror operatives, it adds.
The IDF’s statement does not address separate reports by Syrian state media yesterday that Israeli commandos staged a raid near Damascus following two days of airstrikes. The army has yet to comment on those claims.
