A pro-government Syrian radio station reported Israeli forces carried out a “kidnapping operation” in the country’s south.
The Israeli military said it has carried out a ground raid into Syria, seizing a Syrian citizen involved in Iranian networks. It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory.
Body camera footage of the raid made public by the army showed soldiers seizing a man in a white tank top inside a building. The man was brought to Israel for interrogation, the military said. The IDF later posted a video of Assi’s interrogation to its X account. It said: “his activity included gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network”.
Kamal Adwan and two other nearby hospitals have been hit by Israel several times amid the fighting. Earlier this month, Israeli troops stormed Kamal Adwan, detaining several people, including much of the staff, Abu Safiya said at the time. The military said those detained included members of Hamas, without providing evidence, and said weapons were found in the facility.
The WHO and the UN children’s agency, known as UNICEF, which are jointly carrying out the polio vaccination campaign, expressed concern at the reported strike. Rosalia Bollen, a spokesperson for UNICEF, said the strike occurred when a “humanitarian pause” agreed to by Israel to allow vaccinations was in effect.
A scaled-down campaign to administer a second dose of the polio vaccine began on Saturday in parts of northern Gaza. It had been postponed from October 23 due to a lack of access, Israeli bombings and mass evacuation orders, and the lack of assurances for humanitarian pauses, a UN statement said.
