Israeli forces have issued a warning to residents of the town of Al-Baath in the Quneitra governorate of Syria, demanding that they lay down their weapons within two hours. This ultimatum comes amid reports that the town is primarily populated by civilians and has been largely untouched by the ongoing civil war in Syria. Israeli troops have reportedly advanced into the area, threatening to conduct an incursion if residents do not comply with the order. The situation has raised concerns about the potential escalation of military actions in this region, which has seen relatively little conflict compared to other parts of Syria.
