Summary:
This massacre constitutes a grave crime and violation committed by the General Security Forces, the Ministry of Defense, and allied terrorist militias, operating under the de-facto authority, during their assault on Suwayda. The 44th Brigade of the Syrian Ministry of Defense carried out an extrajudicial execution of the victims.

These militants—members of the de facto authority—are beyond any form of moral reformation. Their minds cannot be re-programmed to align with human values or the principles of dignity, coexistence, and respect for others. Their thinking remains captive to extremism, their emotions chained to hatred and exclusion, and their hostility extends to everything that is good in this life.

When we highlight an immoral act or a crime committed against humanity, we do so to hold accountable the perpetrators, those who encourage them, and those who choose silence in the face of their abuses.

The documented video shows a member of the so-called “Interim De Facto Government” on the Suwayda–Damascus highway verbally assaulting and directing sectarian insults at university students belonging to the Druze community. He is heard issuing threats, declaring: “We have come to slaughter you.”

Surveillance footage (IP PTZ cameras) operated by the “Public Security” and the Ministry of Defense of the de facto terrorist authority 👈🏻 (the Red Brigades) shows activity at the site south of Omran Roundabout, approximately 100 meters west of the Military Police headquarters, near Bayt Karbah (next to Frouj Khaled). The route begins at the first right turn descending towards Al-Uruba School, then turns right — leading to Al-Awaj Bridge and reaching the municipal stadium.

The footage clearly documents:

• Smoke rising from the burning of properties, vehicles, and commercial establishments.

The IP PTZ surveillance recordings from the “Public Security” and the Ministry of Defense confirm that every field operation — from the entry of convoys to the execution of shelling, looting, arson, deliberate killings of unarmed civilians, intentional destruction of property, and sectarian incitement — occurred under direct supervision and real-time broadcasting to the top command center, which issued the operational orders moment by moment during the commission of these crimes and violations.

At approximately 08:00 AM, Jihadists members of the “Public Security” and “Ministry of Defense” of the de facto authority raided the home of Mr. Abu Rawad Hani Jamoul, an elderly civilian suffering from a heart condition. Present in the house were his uncle, his uncle’s son, his daughter-in-law, and their two children.

During the attack, the uncle was subjected to beating, humiliation, and forced kneeling at gunpoint, while being verbally abused with sectarian slurs by the Public Security personnel. When asked about his place of origin, the uncle responded that he was from Suwayda. The perpetrator replied with contempt:

“So you’re Druze? Why are your mustaches like a broom?”

The uncle explained:

“I have a heart condition and I am staying at home.”

The perpetrator responded with a statement full of malice:

“Heart condition? I hope you do not survive.”

During the raid, cash and personal belongings were looted, and the house was subsequently set on fire and completely destroyed. Additionally, his son, Rawad Hani Jamoul, was abducted and remains missing to this day, while the uncle and his family were left homeless.

Today, Abu Rawad Hani Jamoul provided testimony before the Independent International Committee Investigating the Suwayda Massacres, documenting the violations committed against him and his family.

• The events are a direct result of provocations by the so-called Interim Government factions (de facto authority) and their attempts to advance with tanks and armored vehicles into residential areas.

• The de facto authority has been spreading false claims through its affiliated media outlets, alleging that “Syrian Democratic Forces” targeted its positions — despite the complete absence of any SDF presence in the area since the April 1 Agreement.

) bear direct responsibility for:
• Maintaining the suffocating siege.
• Systematic attacks against civilians.
• Violating provisions of International Humanitarian Law, particularly Articles (3) and (18) of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

• Calling for an urgent international investigation into the attacks targeting civilians.
• Immediate lifting of the siege and unrestricted access for humanitarian aid.
• Accountability for those responsible for the shelling, abductions, and systematic provocations.
• Urging international and human rights organizations to document and monitor these crimes as serious violations of human rights and potential crimes against humanity.
