In statements to the official television network Al-Ikhbariya, the official described the situation in the province as “very serious” and stressed that the restoration of state authority is essential to ensure the return of basic services, such as electricity, water supply, and healthcare to citizens.

“The persistent insecurity has paralyzed the work of government institutions and hampered the operation of humanitarian organizations in the territory,” said Al-Bakour, while expressing confidence that the Syrian government will be able to enter the governorate to begin rehabilitation work and improve the overall situation, said.

In recent days, authorities managed to evacuate a first group of Bedouin families who had been held captive for several days in the city of Sweida.

The operation was carried out under strict security measures, with the active participation of the Internal Security Forces, who guaranteed the protection of civilians.

Meanwhile, the province is experiencing a relative and uneasy calm for the second consecutive day, after more than a week of intense clashes that left at least 1,120 dead—including civilians, combatants, and irregular armed groups—in addition to thousands injured and displaced.
