For your knowledge and for the world to know:
Most of the tribal forces that participated in the attack on Sweida came via the Damascus–Sweida road, reaching the outskirts of the village of Al-Matouna before Umm Al-Zeitoun village, north of Shahba city. Their convoys numbered in the tens of thousands of rabble, yet they achieved very little pe*******on.
However, the truth that everyone, near and far, must know is that the actual attack and breakthrough towards the outskirts of Sweida city came from the western side, specifically the Busra Al-Harir axis in eastern Daraa, where they gathered, then moved to Al-Mazraa town, then to the village of Wolgha, and finally reached the Omran roundabout on the northern edge of the city.
All participants in these three campaigns – against the western countryside and the city – who committed massacres, horrific violations, killings, burnings, mutilations, torture, theft, and looting, were forces belonging to what is called the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior, as well as the factions of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) under these ministries, along with the following groups and militias:
Ansar al-Tawhid: containing the largest number of foreign criminals.
The Red Bands (Al-‘Isayib Al-Hamraa): HTS elite forces, whose insignia we have all seen in dozens of documented clips.
The Turkistan Islamic Party: composed of foreigners wearing long shirts and carrying swords, with many photos and videos from inside Sweida showing them.
Ahrar and Aswad al-Sharqiya: all from the Deir ez-Zor Shwayya tribes, led by the criminal Al-Marsoumi who appeared in Baniyas coastal city and also at the Omran roundabout on the first day of entry into Sweida in the first campaign.
Ansar al-Sunna: HTS’s su***de faction.
Shabab al-Sunna: led by Ahmad Al-Awda, who appeared proudly reciting poetry on the Mazraa-Wolgha road; the video is available on the Syrian Observatory page.
All fighters from Daraa participated: from Azra’, Busra al-Harir, Dael, Inkhil, Al-Hara, Tafas, Al-Sanamayn, Busra al-Sham, and all villages of eastern Daraa countryside. Hundreds of videos showed them from the beginning of their gathering to their entry into Sweida.
The Bedouin tribes of Lajat and southern Damascus countryside: all their fighters came from Najha, Al-Musmiya, Kherbet Al-Shayyab, Kherbet Al-Ward, Al-Mutla, Al-Bustan, Jadal, Al-Musayki, and the Lajat villages in northeastern Daraa and northern and western Sweida countryside. Their attacks focused on the Lajat villages in Sweida governorate, especially the villages of Areeka, Najran, Al-Kharsa, Qum, Smid, Qarasa, Haran, Labin, Al-Duweira, Ijrin, and Dama.
The road was opened for all of them using tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, rocket launchers, Shahin warplanes, reconnaissance drones, and bomb-carrying drones, which weakened and disabled dozens of vehicles mounted with machine guns belonging to defenders of the western countryside. Many of these vehicles still lie on the roadsides in Qarasa, Ta’ara, and Al-Dour as testimony to the aerial bombardment in those villages.
Now, the barbaric ISIS-like government in Damascus claims that these tribal mobilizations alone carried out this entire attack, an attack it publicly supported and hailed.
