[00:02:51] been reported to them. Syria TV, Hama
[00:02:54] which is currently the main city. And directly from Hama,
[00:02:57] Murad, Syria TV correspondent Alaa Suwaid joins me.
[00:03:01] Welcome, Alaa. Please give us more details about these
[00:03:04] clashes.
[00:03:09] Welcome, Waseem. The clashes occurred as a result of a previous
[00:03:13] dispute between two families
[00:03:15] in the Al-Sawa'iq neighborhood
[00:03:18] as a strategy for them in Hama city. A while
[00:03:19] and Defense, starting from
[00:03:19] details about this ago, there was a death from one of the families.
[00:03:23] Security forces intervened to break up the fight
[00:03:27] and secured the area earlier, but today
[00:03:30] the fight re-erupted and an armed
[00:03:34] clash occurred, in which medium
[00:03:38] and light weapons were used.
[00:03:41] Internal security forces immediately intervened in the neighborhood
[00:03:45] private property and arrested murder, torture, enforced those involved
[00:03:48] and deployed in the area, and also
[00:03:51] secured the area. As of this moment, just a short while ago,
[00:03:55] two cars belonging to internal security forces entered
[00:03:58] the neighborhood.
[00:04:00] to 4:00 PM, starting from They imposed a complete cordon around the neighborhood and arrested
[00:04:04] batches. I saw that the internal
[00:04:08] security forces
[00:04:11] believe that the priority in arrested them and took them to the station, and also, as of
[00:04:15] this moment, security forces are deployed and also working to
[00:04:19] arrest all those involved and also deploying
[00:04:22] to prevent the recurrence of clashes
[00:04:25] and to secure the area completely. Regarding
[00:04:28] injuries, the official health
[00:04:32] authorities confirmed that no
[00:04:35] injuries have been reported to them as of
[00:04:38] this moment, despite
[00:04:41] there were a number of reports from the residents of the neighborhood that they saw some
[00:04:45] injured people. Perhaps these injured people are among the
[00:04:48] combatants who fled,
[00:04:52] but the health authorities have not yet announced
[00:04:55] the presence of injuries, and also security forces are still deployed.
[00:05:07] To what extent are these projectiles spread throughout
[00:05:11] the governorate? Among the civilian
[00:05:14] population, Waseem, in reality, the clashes between
[00:05:17] the two families are tribal clashes, and it is
[00:05:21] well-known in tribal areas
[00:05:24] that there are light to medium weapons, especially
[00:05:27] among the tribes. This was the case in the past
[00:05:31] and continues to this moment.
[00:05:33] The presence of such weapons is usually
[00:05:36] secret and hidden, and also in small
[00:05:40] quantities. However, tribal clashes in Syria are known
[00:05:44] to involve weapons
[00:05:46] that can be medium,
[00:05:50] such as RPG launchers, but security forces
[00:05:54] are working to withdraw weapons in general,
[00:05:57] Waseem. I mean, after the revolution
[00:06:00] and liberation, weapons are widely spread,
[00:06:04] and this is a major problem
[00:06:07] that internal security forces face. They have issued
[00:06:11] many statements and also carried out many campaigns
[00:06:14] to withdraw these weapons,
[00:06:17] but they are still ongoing,
[00:06:20] are still working to, I mean,
[00:06:24] confiscate all weapons. How long did these clashes
[00:06:29] is the current situation of the residents in the area or neighborhood
[00:06:32] where the clashes occurred?
[00:06:35] The clashes
[00:06:39] lasted approximately between half an hour
[00:06:42] and an hour. There were
[00:06:45] strong clashes that we saw in circulating video clips.
[00:06:49] Immediately after that, after about half an hour, internal
[00:06:53] security forces completely surrounded the area
[00:06:56] and intervened, and the combatants
[00:06:59] and brawlers fled.
[00:07:03] The residents of the city currently, after the presence of internal security forces,
[00:07:08] reassurance, but there is fear that these clashes
[00:07:12] will resume, considering that this problem is rooted,
[00:07:16] in addition to the fact that
[00:07:19] these clashes were stronger
[00:07:23] usual. I mean, there were skirmishes
[00:07:27] between the same two families, but the skirmishes were
[00:07:30] light. Today, there was a major escalation,
[00:07:34] so there is concern even from the internal security forces,
[00:07:37] which sent large reinforcements into the neighborhood.
[00:07:40] I saw many cars belonging to the internal security forces
[00:07:43] entered the area, and also
[00:07:47] dozens of personnel. Yes, thank you, Syria TV correspondent
[00:07:51] Al-Suwaid.
[00:07:55] Our correspondent reported that an occupation patrol infiltrated
[00:07:59] the village of Ruwayhinah in the central Quneitra countryside and set up a temporary
[00:08:02] checkpoint and searched passersby. Our correspondent also confirmed that the Israeli
[00:08:06] occupation army released the young man it kidnapped
[00:08:10] days ago on the road. Juba Al-Khashab
[00:08:13] Ofania.
[00:08:23] Syria TV correspondent Muhammad Fahd from Quneitra
[00:08:26] joins me directly by phone. Good evening, Muhammad. Welcome.
[00:08:30] What are the additional
[00:08:32] new incursion by the Israeli
[00:08:35] occupation? Indeed, it is
[00:08:39] part of a series of continuous violations by the occupation army
[00:08:42] in the Quneitra countryside. This checkpoint on the Ruwayhinah road
[00:08:45] in the central Quneitra countryside is a checkpoint that
[00:08:49] they set up on this road between Ruwayhinah
[00:08:52] and neighboring villages, searching passersby
[00:08:54] and stopping cars and searching civilian passersby.
[00:08:58] Of course, it is an act
[00:09:02] by the Israeli occupation army to provoke
[00:09:05] the residents and people of the area. They stop them
[00:09:09] and search their phones and search cars.
[00:09:13] They claim that they are looking for weapons or wanted persons
[00:09:17] or those belonging to Hezbollah and Iran, knowing that the residents of the area
[00:09:20] travel daily between villages and towns, and there are no groups
[00:09:24] belonging to Iran and Hezbollah, but this is the pretext that the Israeli occupation army
[00:09:27] uses to stop civilians
[00:09:30] and search them and their cars, and then
[00:09:33] they withdraw if they do not arrest anyone. This checkpoint withdrew
[00:09:37] without arresting anyone or kidnapping anyone, but sometimes
[00:09:41] people are kidnapped. And these accusations are leveled
[00:09:45] against them, and they are detained for hours or
[00:09:48] days, as we saw a little while ago. One of the
[00:09:52] young men who was arrested about two days ago on the Ofania-Juba Al-Khashab
[00:09:55] road. Of course, the pretext was
[00:09:58] that he belonged to Iranian and Hezbollah groups, as they claim. Of course, after
[00:10:02] they confirmed and it became clear that he did not belong to these groups, he was released.
[00:10:05] However, this operation is an act
[00:10:08] of intimidation and fear for civilians and residents, especially those living in these
[00:10:11] areas. Perhaps they are trying to force them to leave these villages
[00:10:15] and towns in general, but the residents here in Quneitra governorate
[00:10:18] do not want to leave, they do not want
[00:10:22] to clash with the Israeli occupation army, but these
[00:10:26] operations have created a state of instability
[00:10:29] and fear among the residents and civilians, especially when
[00:10:33] these checkpoints are set up or there are incursions between villages and towns or civilians are targeted.
[00:10:36] They address the concerned authorities, and today
[00:10:39] they also address UNDOF forces. I mean, in every area there are
[00:10:43] points for them to stop these violations, to stop these incursions
[00:10:46] that create a state of instability and
[00:10:50] pose a state of terror for civilians and residents. Yes, thank
[00:10:54] you, Syria TV correspondent Muhammad Fahd from Quneitra, you were
[00:10:57] with us by
[00:10:58] phone.
[00:11:02] A women's delegation from the People's Assembly visited Quneitra governorate
[00:11:05] and held meetings with women from the governorate to discuss
[00:11:09] the challenges and living requirements in light of the Israeli
[00:11:12] incursions. The visit included a meeting with
[00:11:17] in Israeli prisons.
[00:11:20] What is the history of Quneitra? Let's say what Quneitra has offered
[00:11:24] to the world, to Syria.
[00:11:27] Our initiative today is that we convey the voices of
[00:11:31] our people in the governorates to
[00:11:34] the parliament. This is the main goal, that
[00:11:37] their voices must be in the midst of legislation, in the midst
[00:11:41] of law, interacting with the constitutions
[00:11:44] that are being written to write the history of Syria. Women,
[00:11:48] youth, bodies, local
[00:11:50] administrations working on the ground, all of them
[00:11:54] the Governor of Quneitra. He
[00:11:58] told us about the reality of Quneitra and,
[00:12:01] thankfully, he put us in the details of the people of Quneitra,
[00:12:05] their livelihood, their conditions,
[00:12:07] their priorities, and what
[00:12:10] the ground. After that, we met
[00:12:13] with the ladies, the ladies of Quneitra, and they are,
[00:12:17] ماشاء الله, academics, activists, civil society
[00:12:20] leaders. Also, producers,
[00:12:24] owners.
[00:12:27] The interaction from them was beyond expectations.
[00:12:30] The ladies, God willing, God
[00:12:34] willing.
[00:12:37] there began the trial of the accused in the case of
[00:12:41] young Mohammed Ghamira, who died due to complications
[00:12:44] from bleeding in the brain and digestive system
[00:12:48] while being detained at the Haffa police station
[00:12:51] in the countryside of the governorate. The Latakia judiciary
[00:12:54] clarified that the military court began
[00:12:57] trial procedures to examine the facts in the case
[00:13:00] file, discuss evidence and statements,
[00:13:03] and listen to testimonies and legal defenses,
[00:13:07] in preparation for determining responsibilities according to what is proven before the court.
[00:13:11] The Ministry of Interior announced that it had referred an investigator
[00:13:15] to the Public Prosecutor's Office following investigations it conducted
[00:13:18] in the Ghamira case last August.
[00:13:20] The Transitional Justice
[00:13:25] Commission announced that the Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus
[00:13:29] held two sessions today to try two
[00:13:33] individuals accused of involvement in murder
[00:13:36] and torture crimes against Syrian citizens.
[00:13:40] The commission stated that the accused Adnan Mohammed Al-Aboud
[00:13:44] is accused of arresting and hiding citizens
[00:13:47] and involvement in torture leading to
[00:13:51] death, noting that the court decided to adjourn its session
[00:13:55] until the ninth of this month for demands
[00:13:58] and defense. The commission also clarified that the other
[00:14:01] accused, Firas Abdel Hamid Rajab, is accused of premeditated
[00:14:07] disappearance, and assault on
[00:14:10] during their work with the ousted regime. The commission
[00:14:13] also noted that the court decided to adjourn the session
[00:14:17] for the second accused until the tenth of this month
[00:14:21] to hear witnesses for the public right.
[00:14:30] In the same context, the Transitional Justice Commission announced the arrest of former
[00:14:34] Major General in the ousted regime's army, Mohammed Hassan Al-Sharif, on suspicion
[00:14:38] of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
[00:14:40] The head of accountability at the commission, Radif
[00:14:44] Mustafa, said that Al-Sharif worked in the military intelligence
[00:14:47] branch and participated in the chemical weapons file
[00:14:50] and the transfer of its materials outside Syria in
[00:14:53] 2015. Mustafa called on victims and their families
[00:14:57] to submit their claims and testimonies, stressing
[00:15:01] the commission's readiness to provide legal
[00:15:04] and logistical
[00:15:05] assistance free of charge.
[00:15:11] The Jordanian Northern Military Region thwarted
[00:15:15] an attempt by a person to infiltrate through one of its border
[00:15:18] fronts, according to Jordanian media sources. According to
[00:15:21] the sources, Jordanian border guard forces
[00:15:25] spotted the person while attempting to cross the border
[00:15:28] illegally. They dealt with him
[00:15:32] according to the rules of engagement before arresting him
[00:15:35] and referring him to the competent authorities to take legal
[00:15:39] action against him.
[00:15:41] Syria TV correspondent
[00:15:47] reported the death of two girls due to a landmine
[00:15:50] explosion in Ma'izaliyah village in Deir ez-Zor countryside. The correspondent
[00:15:54] said that two girls were also injured in the same explosion,
[00:15:58] noting that those injured in the explosion were from the same
[00:16:02] family. The correspondent also pointed out that the mine is from the remnants
[00:16:05] of the war caused by the ousted regime.
[00:16:44] The Civil Defense revealed that
[00:16:47] the desert and other areas were swept into previously safe
[00:16:50] areas due to the rains and floods that struck
[00:16:55] the country in recent days, calling on
[00:16:58] civilians to avoid touching any suspicious object
[00:17:01] and to report it to the authorities. The recent
[00:17:05] heavy rains that fell across all of Syria
[00:17:09] caused massive floods and torrents,
[00:17:12] especially in desert areas, as we saw on social media clips
[00:17:16] that spread recently. These torrents may have swept
[00:17:19] war remnants and mines in their path. I hope
[00:17:23] our civilian families and sisters will not approach
[00:17:27] these torrents, even if they dry up,
[00:17:29] and do not hesitate to report any strange object, and we, God
[00:17:33] willing, will respond to your requests and reports, and the most
[00:17:36] important thing is your health and safety. The Civil Defense
[00:17:39] also reported the arrival of a reinforcement team from Aleppo to Raqqa
[00:17:43] to support search operations for a person swept away by floods
[00:17:47] from the Al-Salmani Bridge area. This comes after
[00:17:50] the Raqqa Information Directorate announced the discovery of the body of one
[00:17:53] of the missing persons from the recent floods that struck the governorate
[00:17:57] and other areas in eastern the country. Search operations
[00:18:03] day, with the participation of teams from the Civil Defense
[00:18:06] and the Ministry of Defense. The Director of Communications at
[00:18:10] the Ministry of Defense, Asim Ghalyoun, said that the teams
[00:18:14] participating in the search operation in Raqqa governorate
[00:18:17] and its countryside include units from the naval
[00:18:21] forces and coastal defense.
[00:18:26] For his part, Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management Raed Al-Saleh
[00:18:30] said that the recent floods simultaneously struck an
[00:18:32] area exceeding one third of Syria's
[00:18:36] area, adding that the response may not have been sufficient.
[00:18:39] Al-Saleh explained in a post on X platform that
[00:18:43] the destruction caused by the ousted regime to the infrastructure
[00:18:46] made it more difficult to deal with the disaster,
[00:18:49] confirming that the ministry's teams exerted their utmost
[00:18:52] efforts in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior
[00:18:57] early warning and emergency response, up to
[00:19:00] removing the effects of the floods and assisting
[00:19:03] those affected.
[00:19:09] In this context, the Raqqa Governorate Electricity Company announced
[00:19:12] the return of electricity to the entire city after it was cut off
[00:19:16] due to the weather storm that the region witnessed.
[00:19:20] The company said on its Facebook page that
[00:19:23] the fault that affected the high-voltage line feeding
[00:19:27] from the dam station towards the equestrian station
[00:19:30] has been repaired, stressing that its technical workshop
[00:19:34] continues to monitor the electrical network to ensure stable supply.
[00:19:49] The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, in cooperation with
[00:19:53] the Arab Center for the Study of Contemporary Syria,
[00:19:57] published the Arab Index for 2026,
[00:20:00] which included the opinions of 3600
[00:20:04] people on a number of political and economic

[00:21:09] economic challenges, while
[00:21:12] 33% attributed Syria's problems to
[00:21:16] political, security, and institutional challenges.
[00:21:20] As for the economic situation of families, only
[00:21:23] 13% stated that their family's
[00:21:26] income covers their basic expenses
[00:21:29] and they can save from it, compared

[00:22:50] The activities of the sixth annual forum for contemporary
[00:22:53] Syrian studies concluded in the Syrian capital Damascus
[00:22:57] after three days of intensive academic
[00:23:00] sessions, intellectual, and human rights discussions.
[00:23:03] The event highlighted the issues and concerns facing

[00:23:44] concern for Syrians. There was also a focus
[00:23:47] on the zero-camp policy, recovery, and reconstruction,
[00:23:51] and the situation of refugees and sustainable return for
[00:23:54] our displaced brothers. The importance of this forum
[00:23:58] is that it is an executive tool that can be relied
[00:24:01] upon by the government to
[00:24:04] consider and adopt
[00:24:08] in the future. It will surely
[00:24:12] be as witnessed today, the closing day of the sixth
[00:24:15] annual forum for contemporary Syrian studies. We announced
[00:24:18] the results of a new survey for the Arab Index,
[00:24:22] affiliated with the Arab Center for Research
[00:24:24] and Policy Studies, which monitors the trends of Syrian public opinion
[00:24:28] regarding a number of current issues and challenges.
[00:24:31] 38% are skeptical that
[00:24:35] it stands at an equal distance. They say that
[00:24:38] we can say that the index results
[00:24:41] reflect the trends of Syrian public opinion
[00:24:45] and its positions towards economic, social,
[00:24:48] and Syrian and political issues.
[00:24:52] And when citizens in Syria,
[00:24:55] as a result of the difficult economic conditions
[00:24:58] they are going through,
[00:25:01] problems is economic, but that
[00:25:04] is by 42% because there are about
[00:25:08] 33% who focused on major
[00:25:11] security and political issues that concern
[00:25:14] the Syrian state and Syrian society, such as the unity
[00:25:18] of Syrian territory, the building of the Syrian state, combating
[00:25:21] terrorism. So they balanced between
[00:25:25] major political issues and economic
[00:25:28] issues. Of course,
[00:25:31] questions. Also joining me directly from Damascus
[00:25:34] is Syria TV correspondent Hazem Awad.
[00:25:38] Welcome, Hazem. Summarize for us the most important findings
[00:25:42] of the Arab Index
[00:25:42] 2026 survey.
[00:25:48] Waseem, first of all, let me say that this index is considered one
[00:25:51] of the important indicators that benefit governments in such
[00:25:55] periods that Syria is witnessing, which is an important transitional
[00:25:59] phase. Perhaps these indicators help the government in
[00:26:02] identifying the aspects that respondents believe
[00:26:06] need action. This index,
[00:26:09] which was based on a survey of about 3600
[00:26:13] male and female respondents from various governorates, according
[00:26:16] to what was stated in the index, over a period
[00:26:20] from September 28
[00:26:23] until the 15th of last month, yielded several
[00:26:27] percentages. Let me say that these percentages
[00:26:30] showed a slight decline
[00:26:33] from the previous index, which was published for the first time last
[00:26:36] year, stating that
[00:26:39] Syrians believed that
[00:26:43] This year, there was a decline of about
[00:26:46] 6%. We are talking about 50% of
[00:26:50] respondents who believe that Syria is heading in the right direction.
[00:26:54] Of course, there was a continuation of the
[00:26:57] emphasis on the decline in living standards,
[00:27:01] the desire for a democratic system and multi-party
[00:27:05] politics, in addition to
[00:27:08] a large and widespread rejection by
[00:27:12] index of recognizing Israel. There was even
[00:27:16] about 74% of those who
[00:27:20] reject any security agreement with Israel without
[00:27:23] the return of the Golan. Let me list some
[00:27:26] of these indicators, especially the economic
[00:27:29] ones. 42%
[00:27:33] believe that economic problems, unemployment, and poverty are the biggest
[00:27:36] challenge facing Syria, while about 30-
[00:27:42] political and security problems to be the biggest challenge at the
[00:27:47] the families surveyed in this index
[00:27:51] receive remittances from abroad.
[00:27:53] 29% of respondents
[00:27:56] wish to travel outside the country due to economic
[00:28:00] difficulties. Of course, we are talking about
[00:28:03] about 52% of respondents, more than half, who believe that
[00:28:07] domestic economic policies do not reflect
[00:28:10] their opinions. There are also 88%
[00:28:14] who find that there is financial and administrative corruption,
[00:28:17] while only 87% believe that the law applies
[00:28:21] equally, and 36% see
[00:28:24] favoritism for certain
[00:28:28] the political side, there are 74%
[00:28:31] Yes, thank you. I thank you very much, Syria
[00:28:35] TV correspondent from Damascus, Hazem Awad.
