ALBAWABA - Southern Syrian inhabitants are advised by the Israeli military to stay indoors until further notice. As tensions grow between Syria-Israel, the alarm is issued.
The Israeli army spoke to inhabitants of Ofaniya, Quneitra, Al-Hamidiyah, Al-Samdaniyah, Al-Gharbiyah, and Al-Qahtaniyah. The note said:
"Israel Occupation Forces act due to combat in your region. We have no intention of harming civilians. Stay home until additional instructions for your safety."
Local sources in Quneitra confirmed that Israeli patrols entered Khan Arnaba, the provincial capital of Quneitra, earlier today. Israeli forces shot and killed a young guy during operations, according to witnesses. Israeli reconnaissance aircraft have also been observed over the region since yesterday, according to the same sources.
Israeli army radio announced earlier that movement in the Golan Heights has been restricted. The military declared all agricultural lands along the border with Syria as closed military zones, prohibiting farmers from accessing the areas.
These developments correlate with rumors of Syrian opposition forces storming Damascus early this morning, suggesting regime collapse. Southern Syria remains unstable, with heightened military activity on both sides of the border.
