Overview
A ceasefire has largely held following over a week of intense clashes began around 12 July. The situation remains highly volatile, but there has been a notable reduction in active fighting while the countryside is witnessing intermittent clashes between the opposing parties.
By July 20, Bedouin fighters reportedly withdrew from Sweida city, with Syrian security forces moving in to stabilize the situation. This created a tense but calmer atmosphere in the city itself, although broader clashes and insecurity persist in surrounding areas.
Since 21 July, the Syrian government, with support from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) began evacuating hundreds of Bedouin civilians trapped in Sweida city to nearby sites, particularly in the Dar’a. Reportedly about 1,500 people have been moved.
