Bedouin’s fighters located outside the southern Syrian city of Sveida said they would observe the ceasefire with the Druze community but do not rule out the restoration of hostilities.
Beduin’s fighters retreated from the city to the surrounding villages in the province after a week of deadly sectarians between the fighters of rubble, Bedouins and government forces, and Israel carried out air strikes in support of rubble.
On Sunday, a monitoring group based in the UK said that there was a “cautious peace” in the region, but later stated that tribal fighters had attacked the villages.
From the city of Al -Mazar – the city of Druz until last week, when it was taken over by Bedwin, and now under the Syrian government control – smoke could be seen in the fields that were raised from the city of Suweida.
At the neighboring checkpoint, the mound crossed the road. Dozens of government security officers stood along it, all armed and block Beduin from re -entering the city.
Hundreds of Bedouin militants, many shooting rifles into the air overwhelmed the road.
They want to release the affected Bedouins, which are still in the city of Swida, which they call hostage. Otherwise, they say they will make the pass and go back to the city.
“We have done what the government ordered us, and we strive for the agreement, and the words of the government, and we returned, Sveida is 35 km far from here,” the BBC said.
“Currently, our hostages and wounded there, they refuse to give us anyone … If they do not make agreements, we are going to enter again, even if Suweaido becomes our cemetery.”
A week ago, after the abduction of the rubble and the Bedouins of the tribes, the prolonged tension between the rubble and the Bedouin tribes, after the abduction of the rubble on the road to the Damascus capital.
The Government of the Provisional President Ahmed Al-Sharaa responded, placing forces in the city. Residents of rubble suveida said BBC that they witnessed “barbaric action” As militants – government forces and foreign fighters – attacked people. Israel sent these forces, saying they were acting to protect the friend.
After that, government forces retreated, and Bedouin’s rubble and militants collided. Over the past seven days, Druz and Bedouin have been accused of atrocities, as well as members of security forces and persons related to the Provisional Government.
On Saturday, Al-Sharaa announced the ceasefire and sent security forces to suveida to end the fighting.
Local Druze fighters are again running the city. But more than 1120 people were killed, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said in the UK.
The deceased included 427 fighters of rubble and 298 civilian rubble, 194 of whom were “implemented by the Ministry of Defense and internal affairs officers,” the monitor said.
Meanwhile, 354 state security officers were also killed and 21 Sunnith Beduin, three of them civilians, who were “implemented by shot fighters.” Another 15 government troops were killed in Israeli strikes, the report said.
At least 128,000 people were disputed by violence, the UN Migration Agency said on Sunday. Suweida City has a serious deficit of medicine, SOHR said.
The first humanitarian convoy from the Syrian Red Crescent has reportedly reached the city. Israeli public television company reported that Israel had sent medical care to rubble.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State, Mark Rubio, demanded that the government “prosecuted and prosecuted anyone who is guilty of atrocities, including those in their ranks” to preserve the possibility of united and peaceful Syria.
In Miy’B, southwest of Swida, Bedouin’s refugees gathered at school. The village still applied scars from a long -standing civil war, with buildings that lie in ruins and spread out the holes from the bullets.
In the centers of assistance, the elderly Bedouins gathered water from the tank on the back of the truck. Most people there were women and children.
Asked if she thinks that Beduin and rubble can live together, one woman moved from the city of Swidza said it would depend on the government in Damascus.
“They can live together if the government takes over and govern, and if the government ensures peace and security,” she said.
In the absence of state power, she said she believed that Beduin could not trust the friend.
“They are traitors, without peace and security, we cannot live with them,” she said.
