Syria: The occupation army sets up a checkpoint and searches passersby in the Quneitra countryside

The Israeli occupation army set up a military checkpoint at the entrance of the town of Jabata al-Khashab in the Quneitra countryside and searched passersby, in a new incursion, a day after opening fire on journalists and setting up similar checkpoints in the area.

The Israeli occupation army set up a military checkpoint on Tuesday at the entrance of the town of Jabata al-Khashab in the countryside of Quneitra province in southern Syria, subjecting passersby to searches, in the latest Israeli incursion into the area. The Syrian state news channel "al-Ikhbariya al-Souriya" reported that Israeli forces set up the checkpoint and searched passersby. This comes a day after an Israeli force incursion into the central Quneitra countryside on Monday, setting up a military checkpoint at the Rasam al-Halabi junction, where they searched passersby, according to the same channel. On Saturday, "al-Ikhbariya al-Souriya" observed Israeli forces setting up a checkpoint at the al-Kassarat junction in the town of Jabata al-Khashab. On October 25, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported that an Israeli force set up a temporary checkpoint on the road between Jabata al-Khashab and the village of Ain al-Bayda, searching passersby before withdrawing. On Monday, the Israeli army opened fire on a number of journalists while they were documenting Israeli violations in the Quneitra countryside, according to SANA, which condemned the shooting at one of its correspondents, calling it "a flagrant violation of press freedom." Syria considers the repeated Israeli incursions in the south of the country a violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement and demands the withdrawal of Israeli forces from its territory.
