Israel Approves Brief Syrian Security Presence in Suwayda
(MENAFN) Israel has granted conditional approval for the brief presence of Syrian internal security units in the southern municipality of Suwayda for a duration of 48 hours, amid mounting unrest in the vicinity, as per an Israeli public broadcaster.
On Friday, the broadcaster disclosed that, in response to ongoing violent confrontations near the predominantly Druze city, Israeli officials have “agreed to permit the temporary entry of Syrian regime security personnel into Suwayda.”
The broadcaster emphasized that the authorization is confined to a two-day period and represents a “calculated effort to prevent further escalation along Israel’s northeastern frontier.”
At the same time, the Syrian Interior Ministry dismissed claims that state security elements had entered the area.
“Some agencies and media channels have circulated inaccurate news regarding the entry of internal security forces into Suwayda province,” stated ministry representative Noureddin al-Baba.
Baba clarified that security personnel remain “at normal readiness” and “have not been deployed or mobilized in the province so far.”
Earlier in the day, significant skirmishes flared up between armed Druze groups and Bedouin tribal fighters near Suwayda’s western perimeter, as reported by a journalist from a news agency.
