Thirteen Israeli troops were injured on Friday during an overnight
incursion into the Syrian village of Beit Jinn

in the Damascus countryside.

Among the thirteen injured were three critically wounded in confrontations
that broke out with locals, Israeli media outlets reported. Reports
indicate three Israeli soldiers were critically injured in the overnight
raid, as Israeli occupation forces attempted to detain and abduct several
individuals from Beit Jinn, whom they claim are affiliates of the Islamic
Group.
Details of the confrontations

Elite troops from the 55th Paratroopers Brigade of the 98th Elite Division
raided the town of Beit Jinn, which is located just a few hundred meters
from the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) Zone. During
their attempt to detain some of the individuals, gunfire broke out from
locals, forcing a withdrawal.

An Israeli Humvee vehicle used in the incursion was subsequently left
behind. Then, according to Israeli reports, the Israeli Air Force raided
the area and bombed the abandoned vehicle. Among the three seriously
injured troops were two officers of the 55th Brigade.

Israeli occupation forces said they detained three individuals during the
raid, but the ensuing confrontations and Israeli strikes left at least 13
people dead and 25 others injured in the Syrian village. According to
the *Syrian
News Channel*, several others remain trapped beneath the rubble left by the
bombardment.

Unabated Israeli aggression

The recurrent incursions are adding to a pattern,  as noted by Syrian
authorities, of persistent Israeli military aggression
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-occupation-patrol-installs-temporary-checkpoint-in-q>
in southern Syria, particularly around buffer zones and areas near the
Israeli-occupied Golan Heights or former separation zones. These attacks
underscore the continuing Israeli strategy of aggression across southern
Syrian territories under the pretext of counterterrorism or security. The
repeated ground raids, use of air and artillery fire, detainments, and
abductions continue to represent a serious breach of Syrian sovereignty.

The toll on civilians, including deaths, injuries, abductions, and damage
to homes, contributes to growing instability in affected areas.

Pointing to the increasingly volatile state in the Syrian south, around
eight Israeli settlers reportedly crossed into Syrian-held territory from
the UNDOF line. In the occupied Syrian Golan, the intruders reportedly
breached the zone using a disc saw and reached Bir al-Ajam, opposite the
settlement of Aloni Habashan, before being escorted back by Israeli
occupation forces.

At another point, settlers raided Syrian lands

in the Mount Hermon area.

Together, these incidents highlight an escalating Israeli occupation
campaign that is steadily eroding the security of Syria’s southern
frontier, where the occupation insists it will not withdraw
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/katz-says--israel--won-t-recognize-palestine-or-withdraw-fro>
due to the area’s strategic value, a stance that may point to further
deterioration and instability in the region.
