Israeli occupation penetrates in new areas of Syria’s Quneitra

DAMASCUS, Dec. 02 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation forces penetrated on Monday in the village of Umm Batinah in the countryside of the province of Quneitra in southern Syria.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights explained in a statement on its website that the patrol set up a checkpoint between UM Batinah and Juba in the central Quneitra countryside, and searched passers-by, without receiving information about arrests.

The south of Syria, specifically the countryside of Quneitra governorate, witnessed also intensive movements and incursions of the Israeli occupation forces, amid silence from the current authorities.

statement affirmed that these movements included the incursion of a patrol of the occupation forces, consisting of two military vehicles, from the town of Brega towards the village of Kwdana, before continuing its movement to the western Red Hill base in the central countryside of Quneitra.

It said that these moves came in light of the escalating tension on the disengagement lines in the occupied Syrian Golan, amid the absence of any comment from the current authorities in Syria.

The Observatory added that it observed a continuation of the Israeli military movements in the areas of the central Quneitra countryside, where a military column moved from the western Red Hill base towards Tel Abu Qubais, which included 3 tanks and two personnel carriers, after an initial advance towards the vicinity of the village of Kwdana.
