Israeli soldiers fire on Syrian protesters
The Israeli army, which recently set up a base in the town, reportedly fired at the protesters, injuring one of them.
Images posted by local Syrian social media accounts showed protesters carrying banners, which read: "Free, free Syria, Israel get out." In videos, protesters could also be heard chanting the same slogan.
After the fall of the Assad government in Syria, Israel launched an invasion of Syrian territory, accompanied by hundreds of air strikes across the country.
Residents in the areas of Quneitra, bordering the occupied Golan Heights, had been ordered by the Israeli army to leave, with some reportedly refusing.
According to Al-Jazeera, Israel resorted to cutting off water networks and destroying streets in Quneitra to pressure people into leaving.
Farmers in the area say Israeli forces are also banning them from working in their fields. The protest from local villagers came as a response to Israel’s repeated attacks.
