The last families of the Sweida governorate's Bedouin tribes left yesterday evening, Thursday, via buses to shelters in Daraa.
According to the official SANA agency, 8 buses evacuated 248 individuals who were detained from the village of Rima Al-Lahf in the Sweida countryside, the majority of whom were women and children.
Official sources in the Sweida governorate also reported that the fourth and final batch of tribal families arrived at shelters in the cities of Da'el, Al-Naima, Al-Yadouda, and Al-Mazereeb in the Daraa countryside.
A Syria TV correspondent mentioned yesterday that buses entered the western Sweida countryside in preparation for evacuating the fourth batch of tribal families.
The evacuation operations came after the announcement of a ceasefire agreement in Sweida following bloody clashes between tribal forces and local factions in the governorate.
The third batch of civilians, consisting of 500 individuals from the Sweida tribes, mostly women and children, left the day before yesterday, Wednesday.
On Tuesday, teams from the Syrian Red Crescent evacuated the second batch of civilians outside the Sweida governorate, including families from the Christian community and teams affiliated with the United Nations.
Last Monday, the first batch of tribal families left after being detained for days in the city of Sweida to Daraa, consisting of around 300 individuals who were evacuated by buses to the town of Bosra Al-Harir in the eastern Daraa countryside.
