UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk is concerned by the continuing impact of Israeli military operations on civilians in southern Syria. Israeli authorities should cease actions that harass or intimidate civilians in Syrian villages, including raids, restrictions on freedom of movement, detention and destruction of crops. No person may be detained absent proper basis in international law, and the important procedural guarantees under applicable international human rights and humanitarian law that protect any individual taken into custody must be fully respected. www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2026...
