Syria’s local civil peace committees offer an important model for dealing with the country’s deeply rooted social divisions.

Israeli media is shaping consent for broader operations in southern Syria by invoking a Muslim Brotherhood faction that does not operate there while ignoring rising local anger over raids & strikes. This narrative helps build a pretext to derail Damascus major diplomatic gains.

13 people killed and 24 injured after yesterday’s Israeli ground incursion and strike on Beit Jin (Rif Dimashq) in southern Syria. When will this stop?

Had someone told me a year ago that I’d have the chance to be in Damascus today, I couldn’t have believed it. One year ago, on 27 November 2024, Syrian revolutionary forces launched Operation Repelling the Aggression — leading to the fall of Assad less than two weeks later. 🇸🇾

A lot of important developments in the MoI over recent months that aren’t advertised, and I expect to see continued improvements in discipline and relations. Individual violations will also happen but i don’t see them reflecting a systematic problem at this point
Speaking to lots of friends across the coast, they were very impressed by the behaviour and professionalism of the GSS over the last few days.

#Syrie al-Cheikh, représentant d’al-Chareaa, aux clans sunnites à Homs «ce qui s’est passé est grave, les meurtres, mais aussi après en ville[…] il faut dépasser l’idée de vengeance pour la responsabilité[…] réfléchir à où ces actes vont mener […]on ne veut pas un pays divisé»

A lot of claims this afternoon about attacks and counter-protests, but so far seems only potential shooting happened in Latakia city. Most/all protests are already over. Moi spox wasn’t assaulted in Homs and Baniyas & Jableh ended w/out incident
#Syria: after the anti-Government Alawite figure's call following the recent events in #Homs, protests erupted today in the Coastal region and areas such as W. Hama. Tensions are high in some mixed areas and counter-protests are about to kick off.
