The Southern Tribes Assembly, a coalition representing clans in Syria’s Suwayda province, announced on 19 July an immediate and comprehensive halt to all military operations in the predominantly Druze region. The declaration follows weeks of localized clashes that have displaced residents and heightened tensions between tribal fighters and local militias. In its statement, the assembly urged all parties to facilitate the safe, unconditional return of displaced families to their homes and villages. It also demanded the prompt release of tribe members currently held in detention, describing the measure as a first step toward building confidence among rival groups. The move signals a potential de-escalation in Suwayda, where sporadic violence has undermined relative calm compared with other parts of Syria. There was no immediate reaction from the Syrian government or other armed factions, leaving the durability of the cease-fire uncertain.
