Israeli forces have abducted several individuals during a series of cross-border raids in southern Syria and taken them in for interrogation, says the military.
In a statement released on Sunday, the regime's military said its forces had carried out multiple raids over the past week targeting what it described as "weapons warehouses" in the region.
It said that several people were detained during the raids and brought into the occupied territories for "detailed questioning." The identities of those detained have not been disclosed.
The latest raids mark an escalation in Israel's incursions, which have intensified since December 2024, when the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militant group, along with other militant groups, seized control of Damascus and forced President Bashar al-Assad to leave the country.
Ever since, the Israeli military has advanced beyond the Golan Heights demilitarized buffer zone and occupied Mount Hermon and other strategic areas inside the West Asian country.
The regime's military forces have also launched deadly airstrikes on the country, killing civilians and destroying Syrian army positions, vehicles, and ammunition.
Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has condemned the incursions, urging the international community to "take decisive steps to stop these recurring attacks" on Syrian soil.
