Clashes broke out Sunday evening between IDF troops and residents of the Syrian village of Abdin, located in southern Syria near the Yarmouk Basin, according to Syrian sources cited by Abu Ali Express. The sources report the IDF fired artillery toward the village in the past hour, causing many residents to flee. Earlier in the day, confrontations escalated as villagers blocked the entrance to the village with stones and threw stones at soldiers, who responded with live fire.
The village of Abdin in southern Syria is distinct from the West Bank village of the same name (southwest of Jenin). The Zioneer earlier reported clashes with armed operatives in the same Yarmouk Basin area at 21:34 Jerusalem on Sunday, based on a single field source. The current events involve local residents confronting IDF forces, rather than the armed operatives described in the earlier report. The Israeli military has not officially commented on the incident.
