Rubio urges Syrian authorities to prevent IS resurgence by any means
Washington, July 20 (UNI) US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called on Syrian authorities to deploy all available resources to prevent the resurgence of Islamic State (IS) and other Islamic terror groups if the country hopes to move toward lasting peace. 'If authorities in Damascus want to preserve any chance of achieving a unified, inclusive and peaceful Syria free of ISIS and of Iranian control, they must help end this calamity by using their security forces to prevent ISIS and any other violent jihadists from entering the area and carrying out massacres,' Rubio posted on X. His remarks come amid relative calm in the Druze majority province of Suwayda in southern Syria, following several days of deadly clashes between Druze and Bedouin militias. According to Syrian Interior Ministry spokesperson Nour al-Din al-Baba, fighting in the city has now ceased. The violence, which erupted last week, reportedly began when armed Bedouin factions attacked Druze settlements. Over 30 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in the ensuing clashes, including 20 soldiers loyal to the Syrian transitional government, according to the Syrian Defence Ministry. To curtail the violence, Syrian security forces were deployed to Suwayda in an attempt to restore law and order and dismantle unauthorised armed groups. However, their involvement further exacerbated the situation as the security forces were notably aligned with the Bedouins, with Israel intervening and bombing several targets, such as the Defence Ministry headquarters, and a military complex near the Presidential Palace. Damascus later confirmed that it had removed all its military infrastructure from the area, giving the Druze residents freedom to monitor their own security. However, following the evacuation of all internal security forces, renewed violence gripped the area, with Damascus deploying its forces to restore law and order. While Israel has typically opposed any Syrian military presence in southern Syria, it gave Damascus a limited time period of 48hrs to send its security apparatus to contain all violence. UNI ANV SSP
