Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced the end of internal unrest in the southern province of Sweida, attributing around 360 deaths to conflicts between Sunni Bedouins and the Druze minority. He reaffirmed the government's commitment to the Druze community and condemned recent Israeli attacks on Syrian forces, which resulted in 20 deaths. Al-Sharaa characterized Israel's actions as an exploitation of unrest aimed at disrupting peace in Syria. He emphasized unity and resilience against foreign threats, rejecting attempts to spark further conflict within the nation.
"We, the people of Syria, know very well who is trying to drag us into war and who is working to divide us," al-Sharaa said, adding that "we will not give them the opportunity to entangle our people in a war that serves only to fragment our homeland and sow destruction."
Israel launched attacks on Syrian government buildings in Damascus and Syrian troops in the Sweida region, resulting in the deaths of 20 people. According to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the attacks were necessary "to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the gangs of the regime."
