A young man with disabilities was killed by Israeli forces during a ground incursion into Jamlah village in western Daraa province in southern Syria, Syrian media reported on Thursday.
Alikhbariah TV said Israeli troops entered Jamlah village in the western countryside of Daraa province, positioning snipers on residential rooftops while searching several houses.
The broadcaster said Israeli forces also fired indiscriminately in residential neighbourhoods during the operation.
Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that Israeli forces entered Jamlah village and shot dead a civilian with disabilities. His body was transferred to Daraa National Hospital, the agency said.
The incursion came a day after Israeli tanks shelled the outskirts of Abidin village in western Daraa on Wednesday, according to Alikhbariah TV.
On Sunday, Syria’s foreign ministry condemned escalating Israeli incursions into Quneitra province and the Daraa countryside, alongside increased helicopter, reconnaissance and military flights over southern Syria.
The ministry warned that continued violations “undermine the prospects for achieving stability and security in the region in general and Syria in particular, and obstruct reconstruction and recovery efforts.”
It called on the international community to put an end to the violations and compel Israel to comply with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
Israeli forces have carried out repeated incursions into southern Syria since the fall of Bashar al Assad’s regime in December 2024, when Israel declared the 1974 disengagement agreement void and seized the Syrian buffer zone.
