LONDON: Israeli troops advanced into the Daraa countryside of the Syrian Arab Republic on Tuesday, moving from the Tal Abu Al-Ghaithar area into the outskirts of Wadi Al-Raqad.
Two Israeli tanks and a military vehicle entered the area and opened fire, but no casualties or damage were reported, according to the Syrian state-run agency SANA.
The incursion is the latest in a series of Israeli operations that Syria says violate the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
On Sunday, Israeli forces raided the countryside of Quneitra province, detaining a civilian from his home before advancing into neighboring Daraa, SANA reported.
In Quneitra, several Israeli military vehicles entered the village of western Samdaniyah, raided a home and detained a civilian before withdrawing, the agency said.
