Despite the declaration of a ceasefire by Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, the situation in southern Syria remains tense. In the city of Sweida, clashes between Druze and Bedouin tribes have continued with intensity, turning the area into a scene of armed street fighting.
Bedouin tribes, who have united with the declared goal of "victory in the war," have warned of direct confrontation with the Druze, who are accused of enjoying Israeli support. "We will pursue them to their homes," said one of the Bedouin fighters in a video shared on social media, threatening further escalation of violence.
Since July 13, violence has engulfed large areas of Sweida, with fighters from other parts of the country flocking to support one side or the other. According to conflict monitoring organizations, the death toll has risen to at least 940.
In another televised statement, President Al-Sharaa accused armed groups from Sweida of resuming violence through reprisals against Bedouin communities. He warned that foreign interventions, including that of Israel, were pushing Syria into a new dangerous phase, at a time when the country is struggling to transition to stability after the civil war.
The president stressed that only the state has the legitimacy to guarantee order and security, addressing the Bedouins with the message: “We thank you for your heroic stance, but now is the time to fully commit to the ceasefire and respect the orders of the state.”
