Over the past week, Israeli troops conducted several raids in southern Syria, the IDF says.

Reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade nabbed several terror suspects and brought them to Israel for questioning, and raided weapon depots, according to the military.

The IDF has been deployed to nine posts inside southern Syria since the fall of the Assad regime in December, mostly within a UN-patrolled buffer zone on the border between the countries.

Troops have been operating in areas up to around 15 kilometers (9 miles) deep into Syria, aiming to capture weapons that Israel says could pose a threat to the country if they fall into the hands of “hostile forces.”
