Israeli military says it arrested Hamas members in Syria
- On June 12, about 100 Israeli troops raided the town of Beit Jinn in southwestern Syria, abducting seven people and killing one.
- The Israeli military stated that the raid targeted Hamas operatives suspected of planning attacks, relying on intelligence collected over recent weeks, while Syria’s Interior Ministry maintained that those detained were local civilians.
- This raid took place within a broader trend of frequent Israeli attacks and territorial advances in southern Syria following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December 2024.
- The Syrian Interior Ministry condemned the operation as a "blatant violation" of Syria’s sovereignty and warned these acts will increase regional tensions.
- The operation increased tensions amid ongoing indirect communications between Syria and Israel aimed at avoiding a further escalation of conflict, while Israel has shown willingness to engage in negotiations with Syria’s new leadership.
