The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria strongly condemned what it described as "violations committed against the people of Sweida," declaring the acts unacceptable by all standards.

In an official statement issued Monday, the administration accused those behind the violence of seeking to destabilize the region by spreading fear among civilians and inciting chaos and discord.

National unity under threat

The administration warned that the ongoing escalation in Sweida is not an isolated issue targeting one region alone, but a broader threat to the unity and collective will of the Syrian people. It urged all national forces and political entities to unite and take a firm stand to end these attacks and confront the deteriorating security situation.

Reiterating its long-standing position, the administration emphasized the need to respect Syria’s national pluralism and to acknowledge the rights of all components of society without discrimination. "The Syria we aspire to must be a state for all, without marginalization or exclusion," the statement read.

In a related statement released Sunday, the Autonomous Administration underscored that Syria’s ethnic and religious diversity is not a threat to national unity but rather a source of strength that must be protected. It emphasized that the partnership among Syria’s various components is foundational for building a new, inclusive state.

The administration also reiterated its unwavering commitment to the territorial integrity of Syria, calling it "a non-negotiable principle." It called on all parties to adopt a sense of national responsibility and to reject hate speech and violence in favor of paving the way toward a comprehensive political solution.

Rising death toll in Sweida

The condemnation comes as violence continues to spiral in Sweida. On Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the death toll from ongoing clashes between armed Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes had risen to 89.

The spokesperson for the Syrian Ministry of Interior, Nour al-Din al-Baba, announced on Monday that "in response to pleas from the people of Sweida, and in coordination with influential parties in the province, a security deployment plan has been prepared by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Interior to impose the rule of law, assert state authority, and disarm outlawed groups."

Al-Baba added that "developments are moving toward a resolution in favor of the Syrian state, in line with the vision set by the Presidency of the Republic," noting that the deployment plan is being implemented based on positive engagement with active parties in Sweida.

He emphasized that "the outlawed groups are attempting to silence the voice of the civil current in Sweida."

SDF condemns attacks on Sweida villages

Separately, the media center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) strongly condemned the continued assaults on villages and towns in Sweida, which have resulted in numerous casualties, along with the burning and looting of homes, civilian properties, farms, and lands.

The center warned that the recurrence of these attacks, alongside the harassment and violations against residents, undermining their freedom of movement and dignity, raises serious concern and poses a real threat to the Syrian people's aspirations for a secure and stable future.

Fierce clashes broke out overnight Monday in southern Syria, leaving at least 37 people dead and at least 100 injured. According to local sources who spoke to Al Mayadeen, violent confrontations erupted between armed Druze factions from Sweida and Bedouin tribal groups near al-Thalaa military airport and the village bridge of Hazm, located north of Sweida governorate.

Moreover, sources also told Al Mayadeen that armed groups took control of the village of al-Surah in Sweida’s countryside following intense clashes, triggering a wave of displacement from the area. Meanwhile, local factions regained control of the village of al-Tayra in western Sweida, as residents in the Khalkhalah area began fleeing toward the city amid fears of escalating battles.
