Israeli Army Accused of Arbitrary Arrests, Detentions in Southern Syria
More than 200 people have reportedly been detained since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, with witnesses and former detainees alleging arbitrary treatment.
The Israeli military has been accused of carrying out arbitrary arrests and detentions in southern Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government in December 2024, according to France 24.
More than 200 people are reported to have been arrested by the Israeli army during operations extending beyond the buffer zone that separates Israel and Syria, the report said.
Israel has said the individuals detained are suspected of "terrorism." However, witnesses cited in the report have described the arrests as arbitrary.
Those who were arrested have reportedly been held in conditions that have also been criticized, according to accounts from released detainees and their relatives cited in the report.
The Israeli military has not been quoted directly in the available excerpt responding to the specific allegations of arbitrary detention conditions.
