DAMASCUS, Nov 30 (NNN-SANA) – Israeli military drones were seen over Beit Jinn in south-western Damascus last night, marking the latest in a series of Israeli manoeuvres along Syria’s border, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
The watchdog said, the drones conducted low-altitude surveillance while Israeli military vehicles moved around the town’s outskirts. No clashes with Syrian government forces were reported, and the purpose of the deployment was unclear.
The observatory described the activity as part of “recurring Israeli operations” in southern Syria, including monitoring, reconnaissance, and the positioning of armoured vehicles near the border.
Separately, Syria TV reported that, several families began leaving Beit Jinn, after hearing Israeli vehicles and spotting helicopters overhead, raising fears of a possible incursion.
As usual there is no response from the Israeli regime about the incursion.
The developments follow one of the deadliest Israeli operations in the area in recent years. Early Friday, Israeli forces carried out a ground raid into Beit Jinn, clashing with local residents. The military then called in extensive aerial support, including fighter jets, drones, and helicopters.
Syrian health authorities said, 13 people, including women and children, were murdered and more than 24 were wounded. Israeli troops later evacuated injured soldiers by helicopter. The raid also heavily damaged homes and displaced dozens of families to nearby villages.
Earlier today, the observatory reported that an Israeli patrol of two tanks and several vehicles briefly entered the village of Ruwayhina in Quneitra before pulling back.
Syria has repeatedly condemned Israeli military actions as violations of its sovereignty and threats to regional stability. The Syrian government has not yet commented on Saturday’s drone flights over Beit Jinn.– NNN-SANA
