Knee pads and a locked Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro phone, used in IDF digital command systems, were found at a position the military vacated in the Daraa district, according to an image circulating on social media. The devices are reportedly encrypted and secured against data access.
Reports circulating on Syrian social media show what appears to be military equipment left behind at a position in the Daraa district of southern Syria, following an IDF withdrawal. The items include knee pads and a Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro smartphone – a device issued by the IDF as part of its digital command systems (such as the "Emun" project). According to the images and accompanying claims, the phones are reportedly locked in a secure state that prevents data access without proper authorization.
The incident follows an earlier report by The Zioneer (Monday, 17:51 Jerusalem) of a different device left behind at Tell al-Mughr – Abdin area in southern Syria, also circulated by Syrian channels. That earlier item was not identified nor confirmed by Israeli sources.
As of Monday night, the IDF has not officially commented on the latest claims. The equipment found is not believed to contain sensitive operational data due to the security protocols, but the incident raises questions about discipline during withdrawals. No Israeli casualties or security breaches have been reported.
