Since the December overthrow of Syria’s longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes primarily on military sites and sent troops to carry out raids.
It said the operation targeted “a terrorist cell operated by Iran”, Israel’s arch-foe against which it had fought an unprecedented 12-day war last month.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor reported an operation which “resulted in the arrest of three citizens of Palestinian origin”.
According to the Observatory, the overnight operation came two months after a relative of the three was arrested and transferred to an Israeli prison.
It has also deployed troops across the demilitarised zone on the Syrian side of the armistice line that used to separate the opposing forces on the Golan, with Israeli troops regularly carrying out raids in southern Syria.
Israel said Monday it was “interested” in striking normalisation agreements with Syria and neighbouring Lebanon, but insisted the strategic Golan Heights -- which Israel seized from Syria in 1967 and later annexed in a move not recognised by the United Nations -- would “remain part of” Israel under any peace accord.
