The Majdal axis in Sweida countryside was targeted with heavy weapons by factions of the interim government in Syria and other affiliated armed groups, firing from the Al-Mazra’a axis, in a continuing escalation in these areas.

Following the attack, violent clashes erupted between the sides. The National Guard forces responded to the source of fire using heavy weapons, resulting in human casualties and injuries on both sides, though the extent of losses is not yet known.

This violation occurs alongside ongoing escalation on multiple fronts in As-Suwayda and its countryside, despite the fragile U.S.-sponsored ceasefire agreement.
