Syria's Foreign Ministry issued a statement this morning condemning Israeli military activity in the village of Abdin, southern Syria, where clashes with residents occurred overnight. Local sources cited by Abu Ali Express say residents and their livestock are evacuating the area over fears of being harmed.
The overnight clashes in Abdin, southern Syria, drew an official condemnation from Damascus on Monday morning. Syria's Foreign Ministry released what it described as a "sharp condemnation" of Israel over what it termed the events in the village. Local residents — along with their livestock — have been leaving Abdin and nearby villages, fearing harm from the continued Israeli military presence. The development follows two prior incidents reported by The Zioneer: an initial outbreak of clashes between residents and Israeli forces near Abdin on Sunday night (23:17), and an escalation later that evening (23:36) in which residents blocked IDF entry and the military reportedly opened fire and fired artillery. This morning's statement from Damascus is a diplomatic escalation of the incident, though no new ground-level clashes have been reported in the current message.
