The Syrian Ministry of Interior announced that all tribal fighters have been withdrawn from the city of Suwayda, and that armed clashes inside the city’s neighborhoods have come to a halt, according to the state-run SANA news agency.

Ministry spokesperson Noureddin Al-Baba stated that following the deployment of Syrian security forces to the northern and western regions of Suwayda Governorate, and intense efforts to implement a ceasefire agreement, tribal fighters have fully exited the city and hostilities have ceased within its districts.

Syrian Tribes Confirm Withdrawal in Line with Presidential Directives

The Council of Syrian Tribes and Clans also confirmed the withdrawal of its fighters from Suwayda, in accordance with instructions issued by the Syrian presidency and the terms of the ceasefire agreement, as reported by Al-Ikhbariya TV.

The council stated that its move is a direct response to the national leadership's orders and a commitment to maintaining stability under the terms of the newly reached ceasefire.

Medical Convoys Dispatched as Situation Stabilizes

Meanwhile, the Syrian Ministry of Health announced the immediate dispatch of a medical convoy to Suwayda, including 20 fully-equipped ambulances and specialized medical teams, in response to the recent unrest.

This development came just hours after the Syrian presidency announced a new ceasefire agreement with local factions in Suwayda, which includes a comprehensive and immediate cessation of hostilities.

In its statement, the presidency warned that any violation of the ceasefire would be considered a clear breach of national sovereignty and would be dealt with according to the country’s laws and constitution.

The recent tension in Suwayda has raised concerns about broader instability in southern Syria, prompting swift government action to restore order through negotiation and deployment of state institutions.
