Israeli troops shoot Syrian protester as forces move beyond buffer zone
Villagers say Israel’s forces have sown ‘fear and horror’ as they continue to expand into Syria’s territory
Israeli forces from Al Jazeera barracks “opened fire directly at the demonstrators”, wounding the man in the leg, it said.
A villager from Maariya told AFP that Israeli soldiers had been entering his village and other nearby villages in recent days.
“When the Israelis entered … they sowed fear and horror among the people, the children, the women,” Ali al-Khalaf, 52, said.
“So much so that some people fled to other nearby villages. They [Israeli troops] entered the villages of Maariya, Aabdyn and Jamlah.”
Israeli forces have also been operating in areas beyond the buffer zone in Syrian-controlled territory, the military has confirmed.
