Israeli troops push into Syrian village and briefly establish checkpoint

Israeli forces briefly carried out an incursion into the Syrian village of al-Samdaniyah in Quneitra, Syrian state media has reported. 

Sana news agency reported that three Israeli army vehicles pushed into al-Samdaniyah on Saturday morning and established a temporary checkpoint. 

Israeli troops searched passersby at the checkpoint, before later withdrawing.

Two days ago, Israeli troops carried out a similar action, when over 15 army vehicles entered al-Asha village in Quneitra’s southern countryside. They searched a house and a warehouse, before withdrawing.
