The UN Human Rights Office in Syria conducted a 5-day visit to the northeast of the country where they received accounts of human rights violations and abuses by Israel. “We are receiving mounting protection concerns for civilians in southern Syria, where expanding operations by Israeli forces occupying these areas are placing lives at risk,” Thameen Al-Kheetan, a spokesperson for the UN Human Rights Office, told a bi-weekly press briefing in Geneva.
According to Syrian authorities, the Israeli military has arrested at least 250 people in the south of Syria, including children, since the fall of the Assad regime – 50 remain detained and some have been taken to prisons in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan. “In the Quneitra governorate, Israeli forces have reportedly erected checkpoints, searched residential properties, and arrested and detained civilians,” Al-Kheetan added.
