SANA reports rooftop sniper deployments during the Jamla raid. Israeli officials say they plan to keep troops in southern Syria.
Israeli forces shot dead a civilian with a disability during a raid early on October 22 in Jamla, in the western countryside of Syria’s southern Deraa governorate, Syria’s state news agency SANA reported, according to Al Jazeera. The Israeli military had not immediately commented on the report.
The reported killing follows repeated Israeli operations inside Syria. Since Syria’s longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad was removed in December 2024, Israeli forces have conducted hundreds of strikes in the country and routinely entered Syrian territory, Al Jazeera reported.
SANA said Israeli forces had deployed snipers on rooftops in Jamla. The civilian’s body was taken to Deraa National Hospital, the agency added.
In a separately reported raid on October 22, SANA said Israeli forces searched homes and detained one person in Turnejeh, a village in the Quneitra countryside near Deraa. Al Jazeera attributed that account to the Syrian agency as well.
On Sunday, Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned what it described as intensified Israeli incursions in Quneitra and Deraa. Israeli officials have repeatedly said they plan to keep troops in what they call a “security zone” in southern Syria.
Israel and Syria have opened negotiations for a security agreement, but those talks have largely stalled since the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran in February, Al Jazeera reported.
