Earlier, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri, the spiritual leader of Syrian Druze, repeated his calls for urgent international support due to the dangerous situation in Druze areas amid ongoing clashes.
Al-Hajri stated: ”We oppose the entry of Public Security Forces and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham into Suwayda. They crossed into this province’s administrative borders last night under the pretext of protecting people but bombarded our villagers. Public Security Forces and Hay’at tahrir al-sham supported takfiri groups with heavy weapons and drones.”
The Druze spiritual leader stressed: “We hold Damascus fully responsible for allowing Public Security forces to enter and all those involved in violations against our regions and people. We emphasize our call for immediate international support to halt bloodshed among our people across all parts of Syria.”
It is worth noting that clashes between Druze groups and Al-Julani’s forces have resulted in dozens dead or wounded across Suwayda province in southern Syria.
