Continued clashes in As-Suwayda despite Ceasefire announcement

Despite the announcement by the head of the transitional government, Ahmad al-Shara’, to cease fire, and the compliance of the groups known as the "Tribal Forces" attacking the truce, clashes continued in As-Suwayda, with random gunfire and mortar shelling on residential neighborhoods.

In an official statement, the Movement of Men of Dignity declared that attacks have not stopped, confirming: "As of the time of this statement, terrorist groups supported by the government continue to attack villages and towns, assault peaceful citizens, burn their properties, and commit violations in front of the whole world."

The statement added that "the movement continues to announce the martyrs from various fronts and considers resisting the invading terrorists a national and moral duty," noting that "these groups, with clear government support, continue to breach all agreements and treaties by targeting civilians under a complicit media cover."

In a related context, media sources reported that the attacking armed groups failed to enter the city of As-Suwayda, confirming that all video clips broadcast by these groups are filmed from outside the city, pointing out that they suffered significant and unprecedented losses that hindered their advance toward residential neighborhoods.

As-Suwayda remains in a tense field situation amid ongoing escalation, with no clear mechanism to guarantee the implementation of the ceasefire and protect civilians.
