JAKARTA - The Israeli military set up a temporary checkpoint in southern Syria on Sunday, May 31 local time.

AN reported that the Zionist army stopped and searched the southern Syrian population, specifically in the cities of Quneitra and Daraa, before finally retreating.

A total of two Israeli military vehicles were deployed along the road connecting the villages of Saida Al-Golan and Quneitra during the search.

Meanwhile, at the same time, another 150 Israeli troops from the eastern entrance of the village of Maariya in Daraa also set up a temporary checkpoint, searching the vehicles of residents in the area.

Syria accused Israel of repeatedly violating the 1974 Disengagement Agreement. The agreement between Syria and Israel contains the withdrawal of the armed forces of both parties from the separation zone in the Golan Heights, which is supervised by the United Nations peacekeeping force (UNDOF).

Syria continues to reiterate its demands that Israeli forces withdraw from the occupied Syrian south, as well as from the UN demilitarised buffer zone.
