Israeli military vehicles have infiltrated the occupied Golan Heights overnight and arrested a Syrian citizen from a farm near the village of Saida in the southern countryside of Quneitra, Syria’s state news agency SANA reports, according to Al Jazeera.

SANA said an Israeli force of four vehicles entered the Abu Madhara farm west of Saida after midnight, raided a house, and took the unidentified citizen into occupied territory. No reason for the arrest was provided.

In a separate incursion earlier today, another four-vehicle Israeli force entered the village of al-Usha, also in the southern Quneitra countryside, and searched several homes before withdrawing, SANA said.
