The victim’s body was transferred to Daraa National Hospital. The agency did not identify him or specify the nature of his disability.
During the incursion into Jamlah, Israeli occupation forces deployed in the village’s eastern neighborhood and positioned snipers on the rooftops of residential buildings, SANA reported.
Alikhbariah TV also said Israeli troops searched several houses and fired indiscriminately in residential neighborhoods.
On Wednesday evening, Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Abidin village in the Yarmouk Basin area of western Daraa. SANA reported that two shells landed west of the village, with no information available on casualties or material damage.
On Sunday, Syria’s Foreign Ministry condemned escalating Israeli incursions into Quneitra province and the Daraa countryside, alongside increased helicopter, reconnaissance and warplane flights over southern Syria.
Since the fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime in December 2024, Israeli occupation forces have stepped up incursions and attacks, including raids, searches, arrests and the establishment of military checkpoints.
‘Israel’ has occupied most of the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967. Following the fall of Al-Assad’s regime, the Israeli occupation declared the 1974 disengagement agreement void and seized the demilitarized buffer zone and other positions, including the Syrian side of Mount Hermon (Jabal Al-Sheikh).
