Suwayda: Four members of Syria's internal security forces were wounded Monday in clashes with 'outlaw groups' in rural Suwayda, southern Syria. The incident was reported by state media, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region.

According to Anadolu Agency, the security forces were attacked near the villages of Al-Mansoura, Walgha, and Tall Hadid. The report indicates that four personnel sustained injuries during the confrontation. The security forces managed to inflict direct casualties on the attackers; however, no specific figures were provided. Additionally, the groups reportedly used a drone to target Al-Mansoura.

Further information on the condition of the wounded security personnel has not been made available at this time. Notably, a ceasefire has been in place in Suwayda since July 2025, following deadly clashes between Bedouin tribes and Druze fighters. Despite this agreement, groups affiliated with Hikmat al-Hijri, a Druze spiritual leader, have been accused of breaching the truce by targeting military positions.

Hikmat al-Hijri's stance and calls for Israeli intervention have sparked controversy as the Syrian government continues efforts to consolidate control and maintain territorial integrity. Since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, authorities in Damascus have been working to reestablish security across Syria. However, some armed groups persist in acting independently. The government remains committed to preventing a return to lawlessness and extending state authority throughout the nation.
