DAMASCUS/ISTANBUL

Seven Syrians were detained by the Israeli forces in an overnight raid into the Quneitra countryside, southwestern Syria, according to local media on Wednesday.

The state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV reported that the army forces entered the Jubata al-Khashab town in the northern Quneitra countryside, which is located within the disengagement zone in the occupied Golan Heights in the south of the country.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the report.
