    "excerpt": "QUNEITRA, Syria \u2014 Ibrahim was visiting his uncle's home in a village in Quneitra, in southwestern Syria, in July of last year when dozens of Israeli troops and their military dogs stormed the place at 3 a.m. Recounting the ordeal to Al-Monitor, Ibrahim said masked Israeli intelligence officers grilled him about his \"connections\" to Islamic State and Hezbollah. He had none and knew nothing of either. \"I am an orphan. I am only 17. I live with my grandma and two brothers and work in a factory,\" Ibrahim told them. They bound his wrists with zip ties and hauled him to their base in the nearby Israeli-occupied village of Tell Ahmar al-Gharbi, in Syria\u2019s Golan region near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, he said. So began 13 months of incommunicado detention, marked by what he described as physical and psychological torture in a string of Israeli prisons. It left Ibrahim despising Israel and disillusioned with his own government for failing to protect him.",
