The United States announced on Wednesday night a high fire in Syria, but no. A day later, there is no calm in those of the last days nor has he stopped bombarding the neighboring country. International peace calls multiply, but without success, for now.
Let’s start with Tel Aviv. Last night, he returned to bombard the province of Al Sueida, in southern Syria, despite the withdrawal of the Syrian government troops of the region after the entry into force of an armistice these and the local factions they faced. The bombing was aimed at the outskirts of the city of Al Sueida, capital of the homonymous province, the official news agency of the Arab country, healthy, reported without offering details on who would have been directed or the exact location where it impacted.
However, the Syrian Observatory Organization of Human Rights (OSDH) said it would have reached a group of Bedouins, a community that also starred in intense clashes with Al Sueida, to which the Israeli state says it defends.
The army under the orders of had already perpetrated a series of attacks against the Syrian territory between Monday and Wednesday night, when the cessation of hostilities entered into force, but these had been directed against Syrian government troops.
The Executive said this week that his bombings sought to force the Syrian army’s departure to avoid the militarization of that region not far away from the common border, as well as defend the Drusa minority amid the clashes then underway. On Wednesday, a strong wave of Israeli bombings shook the headquarters of the General Staff and the immediate vicinity of the presidential palace in Damascus, while other actions reached various areas of the capital’s outskirts, and from the southern provinces of Al Sueida and Deraa.
In this context, the Syrian president, Ahmed al Sharaa, accused Israel on Thursday to pretend to drag them to a conflict and sow internal divisions in Syria. “We will not give them the opportunity to involve our people in a war that they want to unleash in our land, a war whose sole objective is to fragment our homeland and divert our efforts towards chaos and destruction,” he defended in a speech the nation.
In a video message, Netanyahu referred this Thursday to Israel’s military actions on Syrian soil and was very hard, predicting more violence. “We have established a clear policy: demilitarization in the area south of Damascus, from the Golán to the Al-Druze Jabal area, that is, a line,” he emphasized. “The second line: the protection of the brothers of our Drusos brothers, the Druzos de Jabal Al-Druze. The Damascus regime violated these two things. He sent troops to the south of Damascus, to the area that should be demilitarized, and began to massacre the Drusos. We could not accept this in any way.”
“Therefore, I ordered the Israel Defense Forces to act, and operate strongly. The FDI attacked both the bands of murderers and armored vehicles. I also added the objective of attacking the Ministry of Defense in Damascus,” he added. “As a result of these intense actions, a high fire was established and the Syrian forces retired to Damascus. That is important. This high on fire was achieved with force. Not with requests or supplications, but with force. We are achieving peace with strength, calm with strength, safety with force, on seven fronts,” he insisted.
“This will also be our continuing policy: we will not allow military forces to approach southern Damascus or that the drusos suffer damage to Jabal al-Druze,” said the president. Netanyahu concluded with a request made by the leader of the Drusa community in Israel. “I want to share something that moved me a lot in the last two days. Sheikh Muafak Tarif, leader of the Drusa community in Israel, contacted me. He told me the following: ‘During the holocaust, when they massacred you, the Jews, they asked for help and nobody came. acting as necessary ‘”.
In addition, Israel’s permanent representative before the UN, Brett Jonathan Miller, justified his attacks from the Jewish state to Syria as “a religious and moral obligation” and said that his country will carry out attacks against “jihadist militants in southern Syria.” “In the book of Leviticus (the third book of Torah), God orders the following: ‘We must not keep anything if there is bloodshed from the neighbor. This is not only a religious, but also moral obligation,” Miller said in a session of the Security Council on the situation in.
This moral obligation continued, is consecrated “as a right in our legal code in Israel”, which is why “we are going to carry out these attacks against jihadist militants in southern Syria.”
In several points of Syria there were demonstrations yesterday claiming that a jihad or Santa Guerra against Israel began, although popular participation was not massive.
Rape and chaos
The presidency of Syria to the Druse authorities of the “clear violation” of the agreements for which Damascus withdrew his army of the dream of Sueida, when the clashes have resulted in the lives of about 600 people -almost twice the victims registered when the withdrawal of the troops began. The Headquarters of the Syrian State has accused “illegal forces” of having since committed “acts of atrocious violence (…) that completely contravene the obligations of mediation, directly threaten civil peace and push towards chaos and the collapse of security,” according to the statement released by the Syrian agency of healthy news.
“What happened next (of the agreements) represented a clear violation” of what was agreed, has denounced in a text that explains that the decision made was based “on a clear understanding that guarantees that the illegal forces will refrain from resorting to revenge or the use of violence against the civilian population.”
Therefore, the Presidency has urged all parties to give samples of calm and moderation “, while stressing” the need to allow state institutions to exercise their sovereignty and enforce the law. ” In this sense, he has promised to “demand responsibilities to all those involved in the commission of crimes and violations of the law, regardless of their affiliation.” “The Syrian state renews its unwavering commitment to protect all Syrians, regardless of its sect or component,” adds the document.
In addition, at the international level, the Syrian State has urged “the international community to support its efforts to restore stability”, while noticed “against the continuous and flagrant Israeli interference in the internal affairs of Syria, which only leads to greater chaos and destruction and further complicates the regional situation.”
Hours before, the president of Syrian transition, Ahmed al Shara, has announced the allocation to “some local factions and religious sheikhs” of Sueida the maintenance of security in this province, a decision that has defended against the “serious risk for national unity” and to “avoid a new large -scale war” in the country.
The statement has been published on the same day when fatalities due to the fighting have promoted at least 597 people in the framework of a conflict in which, despite Alto El Fuego, some Beduine tribes have made attacks, while, in parallel, the Israeli Air Force has made bombings against meetings of local militiamen, according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights.
This agency has specified that 272 of the deceased are members of the Ministry of Defense and Public Security, of which 15 have died as a result of Israeli air attacks. In addition, three civilians have died in the bombing of the Israel Army against the Ministry of Defense building, located in the capital.
The agency, based in London but with informants in the Arab country, has in turn confirmed the death of 217 Druss, including 71 civilians-among four children and 83 executed by the security forces-and 18 beduinos involved in the sueida fighting. He has also indicated that Druss militiamen have executed three Bedouin civilians, including a child.
The authorities established after the fall of Al Assad because of an offensive of jihadists and rebels headed by Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS) have faced various security problems, some of them of sectarian dye, despite the promises of Al Shara -Leder of the jihadist group HTS previously known as Abú Mohamed to the goal to stabilize the situation.
However, hatred becomes strong. In the areas where the army has temporarily withdrawn, the Drusos have been strong again against the Bedouins, who have received the help of 41 more tribes, aggravating the clash.
