The IDF conducted artillery fire toward the village of Abdin in the Daraa province of southern Syria over the past hour, according to the military. The fire follows an incident earlier tonight in which a militant opened fire on Israeli forces in the area, triggering a pursuit backed by artillery.
The IDF fired artillery shells at the village of Abdin in the Daraa province of southern Syria over the past hour, according to military sources. The barrage is part of the ongoing IDF response to an attack earlier tonight, in which a militant opened fire on Israeli forces operating in the area and fled into the village.
As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight, residents of Abdin have blocked road entrances with stones to prevent Israeli forces from entering, reflecting local frustration with the governance of Syria's de facto leader Ahmad al-Sharaa. The IDF's artillery fire represents the second wave of Israeli action in the village tonight, following the initial pursuit and artillery strikes reported at 23:17 Jerusalem. No casualties have been reported from tonight's artillery fire.
The incident is the latest in a series of IDF artillery strikes in southern Syria, a front that has seen intermittent exchanges in recent months. The IDF has not commented on whether the artillery fire was directed at specific targets within Abdin.
