Syria: Local factions spread in Sweida city as Bedouin tribes flee fearing retaliatory attacks

Sweida province witnessed the spread of local factions, coinciding with the movement of Bedouin tribes following the withdrawal of the internal security forces and the Syrian army from the province.

The local factions began early in the morning to comb through the neighborhoods of the city and the rest of the villages and towns in the countryside.

Following the withdrawal of security forces and the army, the local factions entered areas that witnessed violent clashes in the western countryside of Sweida in the past few days, coinciding with the gradual return of displaced families.


The road connecting Daraa and Sweida provinces has seen intermittent displacement of Bedouin families towards Daraa since the morning, fearing retaliatory acts.
