Sources from Al Jazeera report that Syrian security forces are approaching the city of Suwayda, stirring widespread debate on social media, particularly due to a post by the head of internal security in Suwayda, Suleiman Abdul Baqi. He stated that the impending entry of government forces is intended to restore the authority of the law and protect residents, emphasizing that it is not meant as an act of revenge. Abdul Baqi calls for accountability according to the law and intends to focus on reconstruction, agriculture, education, and combating drug trafficking and kidnapping through official institutions, in order to ensure a safe city devoid of rampant violence and crime.

Abdul Baqi reassured the inhabitants that while accountability will be enforced for any offenses committed, those who defended their land and honor will be protected by law. Furthermore, he emphasized the commitment to real justice and the establishment of the rule of law, asserting that Suwayda will remain a city of knowledge and dignity. He announced forthcoming details regarding the mechanics of the government forces’ entry into the city, though specifics have yet to be released.

In addition, the media office director in Suwayda’s security directorate, Qutaiba Azam, confirmed that the exit of Prince Abu Yahya Hassan Al-Atrash, a notable social and traditional figure, has been secured, indicating ongoing efforts to navigate tensions in the region while attempting to maintain stability and lawfulness.
