Israeli forces conducted a raid in Beit Jinn overnight, resulting in the deaths of 13 people, including women and children, according to a social media post citing local sources. The raid followed an exchange of gunfire when an Israeli Army raiding force was fired upon by a group of men, including Hassan al-Saadi, who was killed in the incident. Following the raid, thousands of residents reportedly fled Beit Jinn after a bombing campaign damaged dozens of homes, with fears of further Israeli retaliation. The incident occurred amidst ongoing demonstrations across Syria in support of national sovereignty and unity. Social media accounts reported that Hassan al-Saadi, who was killed overnight, was pictured holding an Israeli-manufactured M-16 rifle, which he had reportedly received from Israel. He was previously a member of an opposition faction supported by Israel for years in Beit Jinn. A friend in the town indicated that most residents fled after a bombing campaign damaged numerous homes. Earlier on November 28th, 2025, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the arrest of three suspects in Beit Jinn following an overnight operation. The IDF stated that airstrikes were conducted to support ground troops after they came under fire. Local sources reported at least 13 civilian deaths and six Israeli soldiers injured, three critically, during the confrontations. The IDF also confirmed losing a military vehicle during the operation, which was subsequently bombed by Israeli forces after an ambush. Concurrent with these developments, clashes erupted between As-Suwayda factions and the Internal Security Forces near Kanaker in the western countryside of As-Suwayda between 4:15 PM and 4:45 PM UTC on November 28th, 2025. During this same period, Israeli occupation forces opened fire on civilians returning from a demonstration in Khan Arnabah, Quneitra countryside, preventing their entry into Al-Hamidiyah for approximately 30 minutes, according to Ahrar Houran Gathering. Demonstrations were also reported in Umayyad Square, Damascus, between 3:15 PM and 4:15 PM UTC, with civilians expressing demands for national sovereignty and unity.
