Israeli Troops Raid Southwest Syria Villages, Interrogate Shepherds, Detain Farm Worker

...Even getting held incommunicado for a few hours and being released leaves that worker better off than dozens of other people from Quneitra, who have been captured and taken to an unidentified site colloquially known as Israeli Guantanamo, where they are asked about Iran and about Hezbollah, according to people who have been released from there after days or even weeks of detention.
Some don’t come back at all. Some families have been agitating for the UN or human rights groups to get involved, because their relatives were detained for unknown reasons and were never seen again. Their fates are unknown.
So, indeed, is the reason they were captured in the first place. The IDF has been remarkably opaque about its Syrian operations. Early 2025 raids centered on them bragging about all the weapons they seized from locals, but as operations grow to include seemingly arbitrary detention, the IDF almost never comments on anything they’re doing in Syria at all. The number of raids have only grown, but what Israel aims to accomplish is so far unclear and unspoken.
