Syrian Government Withdraws from Suwayda After Deal with Druze
The Syrian government has pulled its forces out of Suwayda, a region in southern Syria. This happened after an agreement with the Druze community, a religious minority group in the area. The government's move aims to end fighting between Druze factions and Bedouin tribes.
- Government Pullout:Syrian government forces are taking their heavy military equipment out of Suwayda. Dozens of vehicles have already left.
- Druze Control: Local Druze fighters will now be in charge of security in the area.
- Deal Details: The agreement was reached after days of intense clashes and Israeli air strikes.
- President's Words: Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said the decision was made to avoid chaos and destruction, and to protect the unity and safety of the country.
President al-Sharaa has accused Israel of trying to create divisions within Syria.
Israel claims its air strikes were to support the Druze minority. These strikes targeted the Syrian Defense Ministry headquarters in Damascus and areas near the presidential palace.
The Druze community itself is divided. Some Druze are willing to work with the Syrian government, while others are not. One influential leader, Sheik Hajri, refuses to cooperate and is calling for armed resistance against the government.
Israeli authorities have not commented on why they stopped bombing Syria. Some Israeli figures think attacking the presidential palace was a mistake.
The Israeli army is increasing patrols on the border between Israeli-controlled Syrian territory and the rest of Syria. This is to prevent Druze youth from crossing over.
