Deadly sectarian clashes in Syria relaxed on Thursday after the ceasefire between groups fighting in the southern province of the second-wing and Israel has signaled air strikes in recent days.
In his first public comments since the outbreak of violence at the weekend, the Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said he had achieved an agreement with the other factions of resignation from Suwayda and handed over security duties to the local group.
This step followed the days of intensifying Air strikes by Israel, which the military was focused on the protection of a minority minority. On Wednesday, Israel hit the Syrian Military Hospital in Damascus near the Presidential Palace and moved more soldiers to the north and quoted the security threats of increasing the Syrian military forces near the border.
“As a result of this powerful action, the ceasefire came into force and the Syrian forces retreated back to Damascus,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “In the future, we will not allow the forces of the Syrian army to enter the region south of Damascus.”
Foreign ministers of 11 countries in the region welcomed the ceasefire agreement in a joint statement. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan and Lebanon also condemned Israeli “recurrent attacks” on Syria.
The fight is one of the worst, because the Islamic group led by Sharaa has overthrew the Bashar al-Assad regime at the end of last year and threatens to reveal the efforts to stabilize Syria in the era after the civil war. Since Sharaa was taken over to the country’s leadership, she has been trying to establish control of the territories and his institutions, including the army.
The handover of security in Suwayda to local authorities emphasizes the challenges associated with the political transition in Syria.
“We faced two options: an open war with an Israeli entity at the expense of the other and destabilizing Syria and the whole region, or to create space for local people to return to wisdom and prefer national interest,” Sharaa said.
Sharaa accused Israel of trying to drag the country to chaos after launching air strikes in Syria. Israel, in turn, says that the Syrian government has ordered the fight against the other, a community that the Jewish state has committed to protect.
The Syrian Human Rights Observatory said at least 360 people had been killed in Suwayda since the beginning of the clashes, and 27 were executed. The deaths include 207 members of the Syrian security forces, SOHR said.
At the weekend, violent struggles broke out between the Sunni Muslim Bedouin groups and the inhabitants of the other in the southern area of Suwayda. Sharaa said that government forces had hit the cessation of clashes resulting from long -term sectarian disputes in Syria.
The other are Arabs whose faith is an offshoot of Islam. There are 1 million, living mainly in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Israeli men species perform military service as their Arabic and loyalty to the Israeli state often rise high.
There are about 20,000 seconds in Golan Heights that Israel conquered from Syria in 1967 and joined in 1981. Most of these other identify more with Syria than Israel, although signs are changing among younger generations.
In his speech, Sharaa appreciated the US, Turkey and Arab countries that he said that this region had saved from “uncertain fate” after Israeli strokes of civil and government facilities.
