Khaberni - An Israeli military patrol, consisting of 6 military vehicles, entered southern Syria on Saturday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which noted that the locals refused to accept aid from the Israeli soldiers.
The Observatory stated that the Israeli patrol entered the village of Al-Asha from the village of Al-Asbah in rural Quneitra, starting from the base at Tel Ahmar Al-Gharbi.
It mentioned that the patrol members offered some of the locals aid including food baskets and heating materials, including diesel, but the locals refused to accept any of the aid offered.
According to the Observatory, "the patrol then left towards the occupied territories without any direct confrontations with the residents."
The Syrian Observatory reported last night new movements of the Israeli forces in Quneitra near the border strip, where an Israeli military patrol consisting of six vehicles moved from the Tel Ahmar area towards the south of Kudna village in rural southern Quneitra.
This comes hours after the Syrian Foreign Ministry announced on Friday that an Israeli military operation in southwest of the country resulted in casualties, in the largest operation of its kind since the overthrow of former president Bashar al-Assad.
According to reports, the confrontations broke out in Beit Jinn, near a buffer zone alongside the Golan Heights that is occupied by Israel, after Israeli forces entered the town early yesterday morning.
The Israeli army announced that six of its soldiers were injured, including three with serious injuries, due to gunfire during the clashes in Beit Jinn.
