An Israeli force has advanced to the outskirts of Burj al-Muluk on the main road linking Tall al-Nahhas to the town, where troops have raided a man’s home, searched it, confiscated his passport after checking his phone, and interrogated him before withdrawing toward Tall al-Nahhas, the agency also reports.
