Abidin, Daraa Governorate, Syria (also spelled Abdin) is a village in southern Syria, in the Daraa Governorate, near the Yarmouk Basin area close to the border with Jordan.

It is located in the western countryside of Daraa, in the region historically known as the Hauran. The village is roughly 15–25 km (about 10–15 miles) from the Golan Heights area, depending on which point of the Golan boundary is used.

It is therefore part of the strategically sensitive area near the Syrian–Israeli armistice line, rather than a distant location inside Syria.

Israel has expanded military activity beyond the immediate Golan area, saying it is aimed at preventing threats from reaching its northern border. Israeli forces have carried out incursions, checkpoints, and searches in villages around Abidin and Maariya

On Sunday 21 Jun 2026, Israeli occupation forces pushed into the Yarmouk Basin in southern Syria early on Sunday, raiding homes near the village of Abidin in the latest in a series of near-daily incursions that have transformed the country's south since the fall of former President Bashar al-Assad.

On June 28, 2026, residents of Abidin prevented Israeli soldiers from advancing deeper into their village by throwing stones and blocking the entrances with rocks. A Syrian journalist crew covering the event was directly targeted by Israeli troops’ gunfire. In the evening, Israeli aircraft flew over the village at low altitude. Flares were launched, and artillery shelling began to hit the village.
