Israeli forces on the Golan Heights opened fire on two Syrian men on a motorcycle who approached within meters of an IDF post near Quneitra, marking the second such incident in 24 hours. Soldiers at the "HaMishtara" outpost initiated a suspect apprehension procedure, firing at the individuals. At least one of the Syrians was wounded, while the other was apprehended and is being interrogated. Neither man was armed. No Israeli soldiers were harmed.
This incident follows a similar event overnight, when IDF forces shot and killed a 22-year-old Palestinian man from Damascus who approached an Israeli outpost in southern Syria, attempting to infiltrate. The man climbed the outpost's embankment despite demands to stop. Soldiers from the Carmeli Brigade were involved in the apprehension procedure. The military stated the suspect, who was unarmed and carrying only a phone and money, was shot outside the post after failing to halt his advance. The IDF spokesperson confirmed the overnight incident, stating forces "eliminated" the suspect who attempted to breach the post, with no casualties among Israeli troops. The IDF reiterated its commitment to securing the area and neutralizing threats to Israeli civilians and soldiers.
