Israeli forces entered the Syrian village of Rafeed, south of Quneitra, on Friday morning, searching several homes before withdrawing after clashes with residents, the IDF said. Dozens of Syrians gathered in front of the soldiers during the searches, prompting troops to fire warning shots into the air to disperse the crowd before leaving the area. Protests broke out in the city of Douma, near Damascus, with demonstrators opposing Israeli control in the border region and calling for action against Israel. The protests come after Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple sites in Syria and remarks by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for the demilitarization of southern Syria.
