The Israeli army reportedly opened fire on civilian areas of a rural village in southern Syria, in the Daraa province, from areas it also occupies in southern Syria.

According to Syrian state television Al-Ikhbariya, the Israeli army opened fire toward civilian homes in several sections of the village of Maariya.

The gunfire reportedly forced some residents to leave their homes.

As yet there were no reports of deaths or injuries in the incident.

Southern Syria has witnessed recurring Israeli incursions and attacks for months, including raids, searches, and arrests.
