Sources informed that the ceasefire agreement practically went into effect this Monday, following the clashes that erupted since July 13, claiming the lives of at least 1,120 people, including civilians, militants, and irregulars, while thousands were injured and displaced.

According to government officials, the implementation of the agreement began with the departure of dozens of Bedouin families wishing to leave the governorate, marking the first displacement since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December 2024.

The agreed document also includes the complete withdrawal of all armed tribal fighters, as well as members of the General Security Forces and the Ministry of Defense, from the administrative borders of Sweida.

The agreement also stipulates authorization for the entry of medical, food, and health aid into Sweida, the formation of an international commission of inquiry to investigate what happened during the escalation of violence, and an agreement to open international crossings into Sweida and prevent the reentry of security or military forces under any pretext.

Previously, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that militias loyal to Druze leader Hikmat Al-Hijri prevented the entry of humanitarian aid convoys offered by the government into Sweida province.
