00:02:54which is currently the main city. And directly from Hama,
00:02:57Murad, Syria TV correspondent Alaa Suwaid joins me.
00:03:01Welcome, Alaa. Please give us more details about these
00:03:04clashes.
00:03:09Welcome, Waseem. The clashes occurred as a result of a previous
00:03:13dispute between two families
00:03:15in the Al-Sawa'iq neighborhood
00:03:18as a strategy for them in Hama city. A while
00:03:19and Defense, starting from
00:03:19details about this ago, there was a death from one of the families.
00:03:23Security forces intervened to break up the fight
00:03:27and secured the area earlier, but today
00:03:30the fight re-erupted and an armed
00:03:34clash occurred, in which medium
00:03:38and light weapons were used.
00:03:41Internal security forces immediately intervened in the neighborhood
00:03:45private property and arrested murder, torture, enforced those involved
00:03:48and deployed in the area, and also
00:03:51secured the area. As of this moment, just a short while ago,
00:03:55two cars belonging to internal security forces entered
00:03:58the neighborhood.
00:04:00to 4:00 PM, starting from They imposed a complete cordon around the neighborhood and arrested
00:04:04batches. I saw that the internal
00:04:08security forces
00:04:11believe that the priority in arrested them and took them to the station, and also, as of
00:04:15this moment, security forces are deployed and also working to
00:04:19arrest all those involved and also deploying
00:04:22to prevent the recurrence of clashes
00:04:25and to secure the area completely. Regarding
00:04:28injuries, the official health
00:04:32authorities confirmed that no
00:04:35injuries have been reported to them as of
00:04:38this moment, despite
00:04:41there were a number of reports from the residents of the neighborhood that they saw some
00:04:45injured people. Perhaps these injured people are among the
00:04:48combatants who fled,
00:04:52but the health authorities have not yet announced
00:04:55the presence of injuries, and also security forces are still deployed.
00:05:07To what extent are these projectiles spread throughout
00:05:11the governorate? Among the civilian
00:05:14population, Waseem, in reality, the clashes between
00:05:17the two families are tribal clashes, and it is
00:05:21well-known in tribal areas
00:05:24that there are light to medium weapons, especially
00:05:27among the tribes. This was the case in the past
00:05:31and continues to this moment.
00:05:33The presence of such weapons is usually
00:05:36secret and hidden, and also in small
00:05:40quantities. However, tribal clashes in Syria are known
00:05:44to involve weapons
00:05:46that can be medium,
00:05:50such as RPG launchers, but security forces
00:05:54are working to withdraw weapons in general,
00:05:57Waseem. I mean, after the revolution
00:06:00and liberation, weapons are widely spread,
00:06:04and this is a major problem
00:06:07that internal security forces face. They have issued
00:06:11many statements and also carried out many campaigns
00:06:14to withdraw these weapons,
00:06:17but they are still ongoing,
00:06:20are still working to, I mean,
00:06:24confiscate all weapons. How long did these clashes
00:06:29is the current situation of the residents in the area or neighborhood
00:06:32where the clashes occurred?
00:06:35The clashes
00:06:39lasted approximately between half an hour
00:06:42and an hour. There were
00:06:45strong clashes that we saw in circulating video clips.
00:06:49Immediately after that, after about half an hour, internal
00:06:53security forces completely surrounded the area
00:06:56and intervened, and the combatants
00:06:59and brawlers fled.
00:07:03The residents of the city currently, after the presence of internal security forces,
00:07:08reassurance, but there is fear that these clashes
00:07:12will resume, considering that this problem is rooted,
00:07:16in addition to the fact that
00:07:19these clashes were stronger
00:07:23usual. I mean, there were skirmishes
00:07:27between the same two families, but the skirmishes were
00:07:30light. Today, there was a major escalation,
00:07:34so there is concern even from the internal security forces,
00:07:37which sent large reinforcements into the neighborhood.
00:07:40I saw many cars belonging to the internal security forces
00:07:43entered the area, and also
00:07:47dozens of personnel. Yes, thank you, Syria TV correspondent
00:07:51Al-Suwaid.
00:07:55Our correspondent reported that an occupation patrol infiltrated
00:07:59the village of Ruwayhinah in the central Quneitra countryside and set up a temporary
00:08:02checkpoint and searched passersby. Our correspondent also confirmed that the Israeli
00:08:06occupation army released the young man it kidnapped
00:08:10days ago on the road. Juba Al-Khashab
00:08:13Ofania.
00:08:23Syria TV correspondent Muhammad Fahd from Quneitra
00:08:26joins me directly by phone. Good evening, Muhammad. Welcome.
00:08:30What are the additional
00:08:32new incursion by the Israeli
00:08:35occupation? Indeed, it is
00:08:39part of a series of continuous violations by the occupation army
00:08:42in the Quneitra countryside. This checkpoint on the Ruwayhinah road
00:08:45in the central Quneitra countryside is a checkpoint that
00:08:49they set up on this road between Ruwayhinah
00:08:52and neighboring villages, searching passersby
00:08:54and stopping cars and searching civilian passersby.
00:08:58Of course, it is an act
00:09:02by the Israeli occupation army to provoke
00:09:05the residents and people of the area. They stop them
00:09:09and search their phones and search cars.
00:09:13They claim that they are looking for weapons or wanted persons
00:09:17or those belonging to Hezbollah and Iran, knowing that the residents of the area
00:09:20travel daily between villages and towns, and there are no groups
00:09:24belonging to Iran and Hezbollah, but this is the pretext that the Israeli occupation army
00:09:27uses to stop civilians
00:09:30and search them and their cars, and then
00:09:33they withdraw if they do not arrest anyone. This checkpoint withdrew
00:09:37without arresting anyone or kidnapping anyone, but sometimes
00:09:41people are kidnapped. And these accusations are leveled
00:09:45against them, and they are detained for hours or
00:09:48days, as we saw a little while ago. One of the
00:09:52young men who was arrested about two days ago on the Ofania-Juba Al-Khashab
00:09:55road. Of course, the pretext was
00:09:58that he belonged to Iranian and Hezbollah groups, as they claim. Of course, after
00:10:02they confirmed and it became clear that he did not belong to these groups, he was released.
00:10:05However, this operation is an act
00:10:08of intimidation and fear for civilians and residents, especially those living in these
00:10:11areas. Perhaps they are trying to force them to leave these villages
00:10:15and towns in general, but the residents here in Quneitra governorate
00:10:18do not want to leave, they do not want
00:10:22to clash with the Israeli occupation army, but these
00:10:26operations have created a state of instability
00:10:29and fear among the residents and civilians, especially when
00:10:33these checkpoints are set up or there are incursions between villages and towns or civilians are targeted.
00:10:36They address the concerned authorities, and today
00:10:39they also address UNDOF forces. I mean, in every area there are
00:10:43points for them to stop these violations, to stop these incursions
00:10:46that create a state of instability and
00:10:50pose a state of terror for civilians and residents. Yes, thank
00:10:54you, Syria TV correspondent Muhammad Fahd from Quneitra, you were
00:10:57with us by
00:10:58phone.

00:15:15an attempt by a person to infiltrate through one of its border
00:15:18fronts, according to Jordanian media sources. According to
00:15:21the sources, Jordanian border guard forces
00:15:25spotted the person while attempting to cross the border
00:15:28illegally. They dealt with him

00:15:41Syria TV correspondent
00:15:47reported the death of two girls due to a landmine
00:15:50explosion in Ma'izaliyah village in Deir ez-Zor countryside. The correspondent
00:15:54said that two girls were also injured in the same explosion,
00:15:58noting that those injured in the explosion were from the same
00:16:02family. The correspondent also pointed out that the mine is from the remnants
00:16:05of the war caused by the ousted regime.
00:16:44The Civil Defense revealed that
00:16:47the desert and other areas were swept into previously safe
00:16:50areas due to the rains and floods that struck
00:16:55the country in recent days, calling on
00:16:58civilians to avoid touching any suspicious object
00:17:01and to report it to the authorities. The recent
00:17:05heavy rains that fell across all of Syria
00:17:09caused massive floods and torrents,
00:17:12especially in desert areas, as we saw on social media clips
00:17:16that spread recently. These torrents may have swept
00:17:19war remnants and mines in their path. I hope
00:17:23our civilian families and sisters will not approach
00:17:27these torrents, even if they dry up,
00:17:29and do not hesitate to report any strange object, and we, God
00:17:33willing, will respond to your requests and reports, and the most
00:17:36important thing is your health and safety. The Civil Defense
00:17:39also reported the arrival of a reinforcement team from Aleppo to Raqqa
00:17:43to support search operations for a person swept away by floods

00:17:53of the missing persons from the recent floods that struck the governorate
00:17:57and other areas in eastern the country. Search operations
00:18:03day, with the participation of teams from the Civil Defense
00:18:06and the Ministry of Defense. The Director of Communications at
00:18:10the Ministry of Defense, Asim Ghalyoun, said that the teams
00:18:14participating in the search operation in Raqqa governorate
00:18:17and its countryside include units from the naval
00:18:21forces and coastal defense.
00:18:26For his part, Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management Raed Al-Saleh
00:18:30said that the recent floods simultaneously struck an
00:18:32area exceeding one third of Syria's
00:18:36area, adding that the response may not have been sufficient.
00:18:39Al-Saleh explained in a post on X platform that
00:18:43the destruction caused by the ousted regime to the infrastructure
00:18:46made it more difficult to deal with the disaster,
00:18:49confirming that the ministry's teams exerted their utmost
00:18:52efforts in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior
00:18:57early warning and emergency response, up to
00:19:00removing the effects of the floods and assisting
00:19:03those affected.
00:19:09In this context, the Raqqa Governorate Electricity Company announced
00:19:12the return of electricity to the entire city after it was cut off
00:19:16due to the weather storm that the region witnessed.
00:19:20The company said on its Facebook page that
00:19:23the fault that affected the high-voltage line feeding
00:19:27from the dam station towards the equestrian station
00:19:30has been repaired, stressing that its technical workshop
00:19:34continues to monitor the electrical network to ensure stable supply.

00:22:53Syrian studies concluded in the Syrian capital Damascus
00:22:57after three days of intensive academic
00:23:00sessions, intellectual, and human rights discussions.
00:23:03The event highlighted the issues and concerns facing
00:23:07the country in the political transition phase since
00:23:11the overthrow of the ousted regime in late 2024.
00:23:14The forum was an intellectual
00:23:23manifestation that had cultural diversity, intellectual
00:23:27diversity, and diversity
00:23:29many topics. We discussed
00:23:34related to political, economic, social, and military
00:23:38matters, as well as transitional justice and reconstruction,

00:24:58they are going through,
00:25:01problems is economic, but that
00:25:04is by 42% because there are about
00:25:0833% who focused on major
00:25:11security and political issues that concern
00:25:14the Syrian state and Syrian society, such as the unity
00:25:18of Syrian territory, the building of the Syrian state, combating
00:25:21terrorism. So they balanced between
00:25:25major political issues and economic
00:25:28issues. Of course,
00:25:31questions. Also joining me directly from Damascus
00:25:34is Syria TV correspondent Hazem Awad.
00:25:38Welcome, Hazem. Summarize for us the most important findings
00:25:42of the Arab Index
00:25:422026 survey.
00:25:48Waseem, first of all, let me say that this index is considered one
00:25:51of the important indicators that benefit governments in such
00:25:55periods that Syria is witnessing, which is an important transitional
00:25:59phase. Perhaps these indicators help the government in
00:26:02identifying the aspects that respondents believe
00:26:06need action. This index,
00:26:09which was based on a survey of about 3600
00:26:13male and female respondents from various governorates, according
00:26:16to what was stated in the index, over a period
00:26:20from September 28
00:26:23until the 15th of last month, yielded several
00:26:27percentages. Let me say that these percentages
00:26:30showed a slight decline
00:26:33from the previous index, which was published for the first time last
00:26:36year, stating that
00:26:39Syrians believed that
00:26:43This year, there was a decline of about
00:26:466%. We are talking about 50% of
00:26:50respondents who believe that Syria is heading in the right direction.
00:26:54Of course, there was a continuation of the
00:26:57emphasis on the decline in living standards,
00:27:01the desire for a democratic system and multi-party
00:27:05politics, in addition to
00:27:08a large and widespread rejection by
00:27:12index of recognizing Israel. There was even
00:27:16about 74% of those who
00:27:20reject any security agreement with Israel without
00:27:23the return of the Golan. Let me list some
00:27:26of these indicators, especially the economic
00:27:29ones. 42%
00:27:33believe that economic problems, unemployment, and poverty are the biggest
00:27:36challenge facing Syria, while about 30-
00:27:42political and security problems to be the biggest challenge at the
00:27:47the families surveyed in this index
00:27:51receive remittances from abroad.
00:27:5329% of respondents
00:27:56wish to travel outside the country due to economic
00:28:00difficulties. Of course, we are talking about
00:28:03about 52% of respondents, more than half, who believe that
00:28:07domestic economic policies do not reflect
00:28:10their opinions. There are also 88%
00:28:14who find that there is financial and administrative corruption,
00:28:17while only 87% believe that the law applies
00:28:21equally, and 36% see
00:28:24favoritism for certain
00:28:28the political side, there are 74%
00:28:31Yes, thank you. I thank you very much, Syria
