[00:00:08] is with us now from Quneitra. Mohamed, let's start
[00:00:12] from the Qal'at Jandal in Jabal al-Sheikh. What do we know about
[00:00:15] the military sites that the occupation army blew up
[00:00:19] water level of the Euphrates River in coordination with there? Yes, Alaa, indeed, the Israeli
[00:00:22] occupation army advanced towards these points, meaning towards Jabal al-Sheikh
[00:00:26] in general after the fall of the former regime, and today it is carrying out military
[00:00:30] operations towards this mountain. Of course, today, in the morning,
[00:00:34] it advanced towards this point called Tal Antar
[00:00:38] there and destroyed the military infrastructure
[00:00:41] in this area. It targeted
[00:00:44] lands, especially in and shelled and completely destroyed it
[00:00:47] by the Israeli forces that advanced towards this
[00:00:51] area this morning. Of course, it is a strategic
[00:00:54] area overlooking part of the western Damascus countryside
[00:00:57] and near Qal'at Jandal, Qassem and Al-Rima
[00:01:00] in Jabal al-Sheikh. And of course, it advanced
[00:01:04] floods, with a focus on towards it with a military security operation. It blew up these military structures that previously belonged
[00:01:08] to the former regime, and it was a military barracks for the former regime.
[00:01:10] They reached it and blew up this
[00:01:14] infrastructure there. Also, the Israeli occupation army
[00:01:17] continues these violations and breaches in southern
[00:01:21] in addition to works in Syria. Today, also, in the town of Al-Rafid and the southern
[00:01:24] Quneitra countryside, it shelled four
[00:01:26] artillery shells on the vicinity of the town without knowing what was
[00:01:30] the reason for the shelling, and without recording any material or physical
[00:01:34] damage, but there was a tribal
[00:01:37] reconciliation and a state of fear among the people and civilians
[00:01:41] on Monday, September as a result of this Israeli shelling by the Israeli occupation army in the area. There
[00:01:44] also, the Israeli occupation forces
[00:01:48] Daraa are witnessing a decline in prices this on Tuesday, September continue their infiltration and raids and blocking roads and temporary checkpoints and raiding
[00:01:51] some houses, in addition to the flying of drones in the sky of the area
[00:01:54] and searching, I mean, Mohamed, sorry, just
[00:01:58] Houthi attacks on to confirm the information you mentioned, the area that was shelled in Al-Rafid was
[00:02:01] witnessing an event for a tribal reconciliation,
[00:02:05] right? As you mentioned, Yes, yes, yes.
[00:02:09] his coup with the support of There was a tribal reconciliation between two feuding families, and
[00:02:12] there were a large number of residents gathered in that town.
[00:02:15] And there were a large number of cars and they built
[00:02:19] tents for the reconciliation ceremonies that
[00:02:22] are usually held and the banner of reconciliation was raised in that area. The Israeli occupation army
[00:02:27] on Americans in probably thought that there was a large gathering, so it
[00:02:30] sent warning messages. They didn't know the reason
[00:02:32] the echoes of the '48 war
[00:02:33] specialized hospital for heart for the shelling or that there were really people or livestock that approached
[00:02:36] the firing, but the shelling
[00:02:38] secret negotiations with coincided with the presence of this tribal reconciliation,
[00:02:41] generally speaking, but it didn't target anyone. It was
[00:02:44] close to the agricultural lands from the vicinity of Al-Rafid from the western side,
[00:02:50] the winds did not blow on the ground, and we can't sell it and the occupation, Mohamed, doesn't want normal life to begin and continue in southern Syria. Mohamed Fahd from
[00:02:54] Quneitra, our correspondent, thank you very
[00:02:56] much.

[00:03:39] to the competent authorities
[00:03:42] In every corner of this to complete the investigations in preparation for his referral to the competent
[00:03:45] judiciary.
[00:03:51] In the same context, the Internal Security Forces announced the arrest of former
[00:03:55] to its citizens in Major General Ahmed Muhammad Ismail, one of the first-rank
[00:03:58] today, thank God, with the first leaders in the Republican Guard during the rule of the overthrown regime.

[00:04:26] regime.
[00:04:34] episode of Syria Today. In
[00:04:39] In Al-Hasakah, the city witnessed two protest
[00:04:43] stand-offs due to the delay in paying the salaries of the
[00:04:47] national hospital staff and the rise in fuel prices, while
[00:04:50] generator owners continue their protests for the second consecutive
[00:04:54] day. The governorate of Al-Hasakah stated that
[00:04:58] to the Health Governor Nour El-Din Ahmed met with the protesting hospital staff
[00:05:01] and listened to their demands regarding
[00:05:04] salaries and financial
[00:05:06] vast tracts of entitlements. He emphasized working to disburse them before
[00:05:09] the end of the current month. He also met with a number of generator
[00:05:13] owners and discussed with them the difficulties facing
[00:05:16] their work, at a time when protesters had
[00:05:20] cut off a number of city roads, demanding compensation
[00:05:23] for their losses after the rise in diesel
[00:05:26] prices.
[00:05:34] The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management signed
[00:05:37] a cooperation agreement with the Humanitarian Mine Action and War Remnants
[00:05:41] Center affiliated with the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy and Environment
[00:05:44] in the field of humanitarian demining.
[00:05:47] The agreement aims to benefit from Ukrainian
[00:05:51] expertise in demining and technical surveys of contaminated
[00:05:57] agricultural areas, in addition to implementing
[00:06:00] field training and capacity building programs, exchanging
[00:06:04] expertise, and providing specialized equipment
[00:06:07] and technologies. The agreement also includes organizing
[00:06:10] visits by Ukrainian experts and teams
[00:06:14] to Syria and developing joint work mechanisms
[00:06:17] to accelerate mine clearance operations to support
[00:06:21] the rehabilitation of agricultural lands and the safe
[00:06:23] return of residents to their areas.
[00:06:37] The head of the General Authority of Civil Aviation
[00:06:40] and Air Transport, Omar Hasri, announced the start of operating two new
[00:06:44] European destinations for Syrian
[00:06:47] Airlines. Hasri stated that flights to the Danish
[00:06:51] capital will start 11th,
[00:06:54] while flights to the Austrian capital will start
[00:06:59] 22nd, raising the
[00:07:02] number of direct European destinations to three, in addition
[00:07:06] to the Dutch capital,
[00:07:07] Amsterdam.
[00:07:15] The cardiac catheterization department was opened at the
[00:07:19] National Hospital in Deir al-Zour for the first time
[00:07:22] since its establishment, in a step that allows heart
[00:07:25] patients to undergo operations whose high
[00:07:28] cost prevented them from receiving them. This came
[00:07:32] as part of the Josour Medical Campaign, which aims
[00:07:35] to provide surgical and specialized services to about
[00:07:39] 800 patients, with this step paving the way
[00:07:42] for the establishment of a
[00:07:45] diseases in the
[00:07:48] governorate. This heart attack needs help. For the first time
[00:07:51] in the history of Deir al-Zour governorate, a
[00:07:55] specialized cardiac catheterization
[00:07:56] department is opened.
[00:08:01] Malik is one of dozens of patients who
[00:08:05] came to the National Hospital in Deir al-Zour to undergo
[00:08:08] the operation after the high costs in the
[00:08:14] treatment. I don't have money for the
[00:08:17] road, I mean, honestly,
[00:08:20] I'm waiting and relying on God.
[00:08:23] I heard that they started doing this in Deir al-Zour,
[00:08:27] so I was happy, I was delighted.
[00:08:30] You underwent an operation, you had a cardiac catheterization,
[00:08:33] and it took about 20 minutes or less.
[00:08:37] May God bless our Prophet Muhammad. I just finished
[00:08:40] and I'm now in the ICU.
[00:08:45] The opening came as part of the Josour Medical Campaign in cooperation between
[00:08:49] the American SAMS organization and the
[00:08:52] Deir al-Zour Health Directorate to provide
[00:08:55] surgical and specialized services to about
[00:08:58] 800 patients, in addition to supporting medical staff.
[00:09:02] We are here today with the recovery
[00:09:05] campaign delegation in Deir al-Zour. We started it
[00:09:11] catheterization in the National Hospital in Deir al-Zour. Thank God,
[00:09:14] it has been successful so far, and we are,
[00:09:17] God willing, staying here for a whole week to serve
[00:09:20] our brothers and sisters in Deir
[00:09:24] al-Zour and its surroundings. Today, thank God, the first
[00:09:27] actual cardiac catheterization operation was performed in Deir al-Zour
[00:09:31] governorate throughout the history of Deir al-Zour in the public and private sectors. This
[00:09:35] operation is considered one of the most important achievements that contribute to saving lives
[00:09:38] and reducing referrals to Damascus. And since cardiac catheterization
[00:09:42] is considered a life-saving emergency procedure in cases of myocardial
[00:09:46] infarction and heart attacks, coordination was made with the Ministry
[00:09:49] of Health, and with support from SAMS organization and other
[00:09:52] entities, scientific and technical
[00:09:55] support was provided. The opening of the cardiac catheterization
[00:09:58] department represents the beginning of a path that aims to expand
[00:10:02] cardiac services in the governorate, leading to the establishment of
[00:10:05] a specialized heart hospital according
[00:10:11] Directorate. This step is not limited to performing
[00:10:14] catheterization operations within the governorate, but
[00:10:18] goes beyond that to giving heart patients the opportunity to receive
[00:10:20] free treatment and close to their
[00:10:24] families, at a time when efforts continue
[00:10:27] to develop medical services and expand
[00:10:30] their scope in the governorate. Musab Al-Hanna, Syria TV,
[00:10:34] Deir
[00:10:37] al-Zour. We remain in Deir al-Zour, where the Civil Defense said that its
[00:10:41] teams continue to monitor the rising
[00:10:44] the relevant authorities within the emergency response committee.
[00:10:47] Civil Defense teams carried out field tours and took
[00:10:51] precautionary measures to reduce risks, including maintaining
[00:10:55] the earthen bridge and establishing an advanced response point
[00:10:58] with divers and rescue personnel to enhance
[00:11:02] readiness and speed of intervention when
[00:11:05] needed.
[00:11:11] The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster
[00:11:14] Management launched a proactive response plan to mitigate flood
[00:11:17] and torrent risks in Al-Hasakah governorate. According to the ministry,
[00:11:21] the plan is based on assessing risk areas and lessons
[00:11:25] learned from last year's
[00:11:29] areas located on the banks of the Khabur River
[00:11:32] and wadi courses, especially Tal Hamis, Al-Yaroubiya,
[00:11:35] and Ras al-Ain. The directorate began implementing
[00:11:38] the first phase in Tal Hamis, which included Wadi al-Makhban
[00:11:41] and a number of villages south of the area,
[00:11:46] Al-Yaroubiya, passing through the villages
[00:11:49] of Al-Sayha and Al-Boutha to address the most
[00:11:52] vulnerable points and enhance
[00:11:55] the readiness of local communities.
[00:12:09] Tomato markets in
[00:12:13] season due to abundant production, weak
[00:12:16] demand, and the absence of export outlets. This has
[00:12:20] driven prices to levels below production costs
[00:12:24] and caused farmers
[00:12:26] heavy losses.
[00:12:31] Abundant crop and heavy loss.
[00:12:35] This is how the tomato season is summarized, which Abdul
[00:12:38] Aziz waited for, as is the case for hundreds of farmers in
[00:12:42] the Daraa countryside. Abundant production and weak
[00:12:45] demand have driven prices down to
[00:12:48] levels that do not cover the costs of harvesting, fertilizers,
[00:12:51] and irrigation. With the absence of export opportunities,
[00:12:55] the farmer has become the weakest link in the
[00:12:58] equation where he succeeded agriculturally
[00:13:01] and failed economically.
[00:13:04] Prices are, as they say, on the ground, neither sold nor bought, and the cost is high,
[00:13:08] and we have a living in front of us, we don't know what to do with it. We can't leave it
[00:13:13] to the market. This is the farmer's situation
[00:13:16] this year. Very high cost, and
[00:13:19] there are no prices. It needs external markets. It needs, as they say, a solution from these
[00:13:23] countries. We need a solution to this calamity that has befallen
[00:13:26] us. To save what can be saved
[00:13:29] and compensate part of the production costs,
[00:13:33] some farmers resorted to canning factories
[00:13:37] to dispose of their accumulated crop.
[00:13:41] washing to sorting and cooking until
[00:13:44] the paste finally comes out. More than
[00:13:47] 30 factories in Daraa governorate operate
[00:13:51] at their full capacity, but they cannot absorb
[00:13:55] the quantities offered at the peak of the season.
[00:13:59] Daraa agriculture estimates the production quantity for this
[00:14:02] season at about 400 thousand
[00:14:05] tons. Of course, we are working 24 hours a day,
[00:14:08] which is equivalent to 200 tons of beans
[00:14:10] daily. We are taking advantage of this situation for morning
[00:14:14] packing. We pack morning containers, and in the evening
[00:14:17] period, we work on high density to store
[00:14:20] barrels for the winter season. So
[00:14:23] we are taking advantage of the largest production or daily work.
[00:14:26] And between abundant production and a tight
[00:14:30] market, the farmer's hope remains for government
[00:14:34] intervention to secure
[00:14:37] of blaming him for not adhering to the agricultural
[00:14:41] plan. The canning factories in Daraa
[00:14:44] governorate, despite their scarcity, represent a lifeline
[00:14:47] for farmers who wish to dispose of their produce. They absorb
[00:14:51] larger quantities of tomatoes and require lower costs
[00:14:55] compared to wholesale markets. Hossam Al-Masalma,
[00:14:59] Syria TV, rural Daraa. Central.
[00:15:03] Palestinians residing in Syria face difficulties
[00:15:06] and delays in completing real estate ownership
[00:15:09] transactions, despite the civil and economic
[00:15:12] rights granted by Law No.
[00:15:15] 260, amid questions about the mechanisms
[00:15:18] of ownership and the required
[00:15:20] procedures.
[00:15:23] Jamil has not been able to obtain the required
[00:15:27] approval to complete the procedures for owning a property
[00:15:31] in Damascus, so his transaction remains pending
[00:15:34] despite completing the necessary procedures. For his part, he applied
[00:15:38] for a security approval for a Palestinian to own
[00:15:41] a property, and I have been waiting since 2025, from
[00:15:44] 21/12/2025, and I have not reached
[00:15:48] a result, even though they came and conducted a study
[00:15:51] about my son for the security approval,
[00:15:54] and I did not reach a result. I am going back and forth,
[00:15:58] and no one is giving me a satisfactory answer about where it is,
[00:16:01] we don't know where it went, we don't know. I am following up
[00:16:05] and checking, but we don't know. Jamil's
[00:16:08] case raises questions among Palestinians in Damascus about
[00:16:11] the mechanisms and procedures of ownership, while
[00:16:14] specialists explain that Law No. 260
[00:16:18] regulated the status of Palestinians and granted them civil
[00:16:22] and economic rights, leaving the mechanisms of
[00:16:25] applying some of these rights, especially ownership,
[00:16:27] subject to
[00:16:30] question. The Syrian Palestinian at that time could own
[00:16:34] whatever he wished by a court decision or by irrevocable agencies or by title deed.
[00:16:37] It required obtaining security approval. Now, the Syrian Palestinian
[00:16:40] needs any way to transfer ownership, whether by a court
[00:16:44] decision or by a notary public agency, or if it was by title deed, he needs security
[00:16:48] approval issued by the Ministry of Interior's Civil Affairs Department. However,
[00:16:51] we want to clarify a very important point: it should be more
[00:16:55] transparent in explaining the mechanism for obtaining this approval.
[00:16:59] And between the text of the law and the reality of its application, the question
[00:17:02] remains about the steps required to enhance
[00:17:06] the living and social stability of Palestinian
[00:17:09] refugees in Syria.
[00:17:21] In our international news, the US State Department warned of
[00:17:25] the possibility of an unexpected military escalation
[00:17:28] and a potential closure of airspace in the Middle East
[00:17:32] due to the repeated
[00:17:35] Saudi Arabia. The ministry said that the Houthis
[00:17:39] engaged in hostile acts against Saudi Arabia, including
[00:17:42] targeting civilian airports,
[00:17:45] warning that this military conflict
[00:17:48] is rapidly escalating. The ministry added
[00:17:51] that the security environment in the Middle East region
[00:17:55] remains complex amid ongoing tensions
[00:17:58] with the possibility of unexpected escalation, calling
[00:18:04] the region to exercise extreme caution
[00:18:08] and be prepared for possible flight cancellations
[00:18:11] and airspace closures.
[00:18:14] In this context, American
[00:18:16] media reported that
[00:18:20] President Donald Trump cut short his weekend
[00:18:23] vacation at the presidential
[00:18:26] Camp David resort and decided to return to the White
[00:18:30] House on Saturday evening instead of Sunday evening,
[00:18:33] as expected.
[00:18:39] We have with us now from Washington, our correspondent Shaaban Aboud. Shaaban,
[00:18:45] news, sorry, been clarified regarding Trump
[00:18:48] cutting short his weekend vacation and returning to the White
[00:18:51] House?
[00:18:54] Good evening, Alaa. In fact, no official body has announced
[00:18:57] or clarified or explained the reason for this
[00:19:00] interruption, Trump cutting short his vacation,
[00:19:04] but at the same time,
[00:19:07] some American press reports linked this decision
[00:19:10] to cutting short the vacation
[00:19:13] to the recent statements made by President Donald Trump to Axios
[00:19:17] website, saying that he is about to make a very big
[00:19:21] decision regarding Iran.
[00:19:23] This also came
[00:19:26] concurrently with the warning issued by
[00:19:29] the US State Department
[00:19:32] the region. The warning, we should
[00:19:35] note, did indeed mention the Houthi
[00:19:38] attacks on Saudi Arabia and the targeting of civilian
[00:19:41] airports, and it mentioned the possibility of
[00:19:45] closing airspace and closing
[00:19:47] airports or canceling flights,
[00:19:51] but at the same time, it also
[00:19:55] said that American interests all over the world
[00:19:58] might be threatened, meaning Iran
[00:20:02] and its allies and proxies might threaten American
[00:20:05] interests all
[00:20:07] over the world. This was a striking point
[00:20:11] that made the speculation that something
[00:20:15] big would happen very likely. At the same
[00:20:18] time, let's not forget that there are
[00:20:21] also reports that President Donald Trump will meet
[00:20:25] soon in the coming days on the sidelines of the UN General
[00:20:29] Assembly meetings with leaders of Gulf and Islamic
[00:20:32] countries in order to sound
[00:20:35] out their opinions on the steps
[00:20:50] Red Sea region and Bab al-Mandab straits.
[00:20:53] There is a fear in American circles, there is a fear
[00:20:57] among the American administration that it will face
[00:21:00] a new problem, the problem of closing a second
[00:21:03] waterway after Hormuz. Therefore,
[00:21:07] all these developments, in addition to today's statement,
[00:21:11] there were also statements from Trump today saying that
[00:21:14] he identified three options for the Iranians: either to wipe
[00:21:18] out Iran, as he said,
[00:21:21] let it rot economically, or
[00:21:24] to go to a deal. So,
[00:21:28] is nothing confirmed that Trump is going
[00:21:30] to at the same time, it is one
[00:21:34] of the strongly proposed options during this period. Yes, to you.
[00:21:37] Thank you very much, Shaaban Aboud, our correspondent from
[00:21:40] Washington.
