Syrian media: IDF operating in villages outside buffer zone
2024-12-18
[IsraelTimes] Israeli troops have been operating in several Syrian villages beyond the buffer zone in southern Syria in the past day, according to local media.

The Daraa 24 outlet yesterday reported that IDF soldiers entered the village of Ma’ariya, a few hundred meters east of the buffer zone in the southern Golan Heights, and questioned locals.

The outlet says that today IDF tanks entered the town of Saidah, also on the edge of the buffer zone.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the actions.

The IDF has said that its deployment to the buffer zone and strategic positions in the area is a defensive and temporary measure amid the situation in Syria, and it would remain there until it clears up. The military has also acknowledged operating beyond the buffer zone in several areas.
