Syrian Man With Down Syndrome Killed by IDF in Daraa Province

According to Syrian sources, approximately 15 Israeli military vehicles entered Jamla, where soldiers searched homes and positioned snipers on rooftops. Al-Bair's brother stated that he was deaf and did not hear the orders to stop, nor could he comprehend the danger due to his disability. Syrian civil defense reported finding his body near a border fence, alleging that Israeli troops placed it there, while other Syrian media claimed soldiers took the wounded man to a military post before UN forces facilitated the transfer of his body.

The Israel Defense Forces stated that troops operating in a security zone in southern Syria noticed a suspect approaching them. The IDF reported that soldiers initiated a suspect apprehension procedure, but fired to neutralize the threat after the suspect ignored commands to halt and continued to advance. The IDF confirmed the incident is under investigation.
