Deadly clashes in areas of Syria’s rubble cause fears to expand unrest

The deadly clashes between Islamist armed groups, security forces and fighters from the religious minority of rubble near Damascus-more, one sign of the constant fragility of the safety situation in Syria after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.

External players participated again, and Israel stated that he had carried out air strikes to protect the civilian rubble.

This means another fallen line in Syria, which was fractured and divided after 13 years of devastating civil war and decades of authoritarian management of the Assad dynasty.

The new Syrian authorities have said they are determined to bring unity and stability, but many inside and outside the country still point to their roots in jihadism and remain suspicious on their agenda.

Before President Assad was overthrown, his rule was restored in the main cities of Syria and along the highways between them – as well as the coastal heart of the Alavita sect to which his family belongs.

But there were other regions, partly or almost completely out of his control.

They turned on the Idlib in the north, from where Syria’s current leaders Ahmed al-Sharaa headed his Islamist rebel faction Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-long branch of al-Qaeda-da Victory last year.

In the northeast, Syrian Kurdish forces supported semi -autonomy throughout the civil war and beyond.

And south of Damascus, rubble also had some autonomy.

These units remain, although the Alavichy districts are now the most serious outbreaks for new Syria.

In March, the days of fighting between security forces and fighters still left -handed, left hundreds of people, including civilians. Other armed factions, which are poorly related to the new authorities, also participated in the murder of revenge against local Alavites.

Such violence is the greatest fear for those who support Sharaa and for those against it.

The latest clashes south of Damascus again participated in several armed groups, who are still active in Syria and Druz. Their religion is an offshoot of Islam, with significant communities not only in Syria, but also in Lebanon, Jordan and Israel.

It was the connection with Israel that pushed the country’s air forces to carry out several strikes during the fighting and around the city of Ashroterat Sana on Wednesday.

The Israeli government said the operation was a warning and demanded that the Syrian authorities prevent harm to rubble.

Syrian authorities have said security forces were located in Ashraves -Sana to restore safety and stability, accusing what he called “groups by law” based there at the base of the skirmishes.

But the spiritual leader of the Syria community community, Sheikh Hikmat Al-Higi, condemned the violence as a “unjustified genocidal campaign” and said that people defended their homes from the attacks of extremists.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 101 people, mostly suburbs of rubble Yaroman and South Suweida, which most.

In the UK, the monitoring group stated that there were 71 members of the DRUze community, including 10 civilians and 35 militants who were shot dead in “ambush” during a Svewida trip to Damascus on Wednesday, as well as 30 members of security forces and union groups.

At least the violence decreased, and the government said he agreed with the ceasefire with the local leaders of Druze.

But the suddenness and fury with which the skirmishes flared up caused, it seems, an audio recording, which is distributed on the social media, which insults the prophet Muhammad, falsely attributed to the friendly clergy – shows the potential to Syria slide back into the conflict.

There is a mutual suspicion between the new Islamist authorities and religious minorities such as Alawi and rubble.

It is a combustible mixture that just inflames the role that countries such as Israel and Turkey continue to play. Both have promoted their interests in Syria from the fall of Assad.

Israel confiscated more land in the south of Syria outside the Galans heights, which it has long occupied.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the complete demilitarization of Svewida and two other provinces south of Damascus. He says the new Syrian government is extremist and that the presence of its security forces is anywhere near the border.

Israel has unleashed its connection with the Druze community in the region, presenting itself a defender, even if many Syrian rubble themselves do not see it.

The new authorities in Damascus rejected Israel’s steps as a violation of Syria’s sovereignty, although they sought to make it clear that they were not looking for a conflict with Israel.

Turkey was a key sponsor of the rebels who finally supplanted Assad, and she established close ties with the new leadership of the country. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced the last Israeli military intervention in Syria as “dangerous and unacceptable provocation”.

The tension between Turkey and Israel over different goals in the new Syria adds another complication of a set of problems facing Sharaa and its government.

Syria is still dangerous with so many strengths both inside and outside, the purpose of unification and stabilizing the country – despite some successes so far – remains a very difficult task.

Syria will need a lot of breathing space, as well as financial and political support for the international community to make real progress towards a better future for their citizens, impoverished and uprooted years with bitter conflicts.
