Anas Khattab, the Syrian Minister of Interior, announced that security forces have successfully stabilized the situation and implemented a ceasefire, paving the way for prisoner exchanges and gradual stability in the region. Tom Barrack, a U.S. envoy, stated that the parties have reached a cessation of hostilities. However, local residents report severe shortages of water and electricity, and hospitals are in catastrophic condition. The Syrian government’s aid convoy was denied entry, while aid from the Syrian Red Crescent was allowed. The conflict began a week ago between Bedouin and Druze fighters, with the Syrian government also becoming involved in the violence. The Syrian Human Rights Network reported at least 321 deaths since July 13, including civilians and security forces. Teljes cikk (Portfolio.hu)
