The martyrdom of young men and the arrest of others during an Israeli raid on Beit Jinn in Syria.

In a new escalation inside Syrian territories, Israeli occupation forces carried out a surprise military operation early this morning in the town of Beit Jinn, located in the western countryside of Damascus near the villages of Mount Hermon, as announced by the Israeli army radio, clarifying that the operation was conducted by units from the Alexandroni Reserve Brigade. According to Syrian local sources, the operation resulted in the martyrdom of the young man Mohammad Hamadeh after Israeli forces directly fired at him during raids in the town, in addition to the arrest of 7 other young men who were taken to an unknown location amidst panic among the residents. Local media outlets confirmed that the operation took place before dawn, accompanied by a limited Israeli forces incursion into the town from border areas with the occupied Golan Heights, reminiscent of similar operations carried out by the Israeli army in southern Syria in recent months. Israeli forces closed the entrances and exits of the town during the raid, conducted raids targeting houses belonging to families of wanted young men, without specifying the nature of the charges or accusations against them, amid the absence of any official comment from the Syrian authorities so far. On the other hand, the American network "NBC News" quoted informed sources stating that Israel is considering the option of carrying out a imminent military strike against Iran in the coming days, likely to be done without direct coordination or support from the United States, reflecting a noticeable escalation in regional tension. This operation comes at a sensitive time for the Syrian front, amidst multi-party tensions involving southern Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah, raising concerns about the expansion of military escalation in the region in the near future. While the Syrian government remains silent, questions are being raised in the Syrian street about the messages conveyed by such operations, and the extent of the Syrian government's ability to secure its border areas against repeated Israeli incursions into Syrian territory.
