Residents return after Israeli forces withdraw from Syrian village

Residents return after Israeli forces withdraw from Syrian village Residents who fled their homes during Sunday's incursion began gradually returning by evening after Israeli troops pulled back from Tal al-Maghar hill, in Syria's western Deraa countryside, where they had remained for several hours, Al Jazeera reported. Israeli forces reportedly fired flares over the area overnight while reconnaissance aircraft continued to fly over the village of Abdeen. The development comes after Syria's foreign ministry condemned Israeli incursions and artillery shelling in Deraa and Quneitra, describing them as a "flagrant violation" of Syrian sovereignty.
