A clip from the entrance of Suwayda Governorate (near the village of Al-Sura Al-Kabira) reveals, both visually and audibly, the reality of the siege imposed on the governorate.

The video, filmed by a member of the de facto authority, shows checkpoints and earthen barriers on the Damascus–Suwayda road, alongside armed personnel belonging to the “terrorist General Security apparatus.”

🔴 Key detail in the footage: The arch at the governorate entrance displays a sign with a (✘) over the word “Suwayda,” clearly signaling an intent to erase its name and identity.

This documentation completely refutes the authority’s claims denying the siege and exposes the lies of its media, which falsely accused locals of blocking the road. It is undeniable field evidence that exposes the deception practiced by the authority and its propaganda outlets.

A blatant violation of the Christian faith was committed by Minister of Culture Mohammad Yassin Saleh and a Damascus chanter, who entered the church and performed chants contradicting Christian doctrine. This was seen as a provocation aimed at creating a pretext to render Christians prey to extremist factions of the de facto authority, including General Security and the Ministries of Interior and Defense.

Observers said the minister’s actions recall the “Da‘wa cars” (vehicles used for Islamic preaching and indoctrination) that roamed Christian neighborhoods, soon followed by a terrorist bombing at Doueilaa Church in Damascus weeks ago.

They urged the minister to issue a public apology and vow not to use sacred sites for propaganda, warning of grave consequences for coexistence in Syria.
