The UN human rights office says it has received allegations that Israeli forces set dogs on Syrian detainees, as Israeli military incursions into southern Syria reached their highest monthly level this year.

Former detainees and other sources also described beatings, prolonged forced standing and threats against their families, according to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
