🔴 Israeli forces reportedly fired at civilians near the village of Al-Asha in southern Quneitra countryside, reportedly to scare them while they were collecting mushrooms in agricultural areas.

A government source denied to “Al-Watan” the reports on an imminent agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF:

📌 The Syrian government received a response to a recent constructive proposal from the Defense Ministry, still under review.

📌 Communications with the SDF are currently paused, with potential meetings expected soon.

📌 Figures and information on the integration process are inaccurate, reflecting hopes rather than facts.

📌 The source urged media to avoid false information, follow journalistic standards, and rely on official sources, noting the government’s transparent approach in keeping the public informed.

Shujaa al-Ibrahim, a commander in the so-called Al-Taramih Forces Regiment’ linked to Suhail al-Hassan, was arrested by the Internal Security Directorate following a targeted ambush in Mishta Al-Halou, Tartus countryside.

The Al-Tramih group gained a notorious reputation for committing atrocities, including killings, forced displacements, torture, and looting of civilian properties.

📌 Amid official denials from Damascus of an imminent agreement with the SDF, SDF commander Mazloum Abdi said progress had been made on several key files during a consultative meeting in northeast Syria.

📌 Abdi said there was a “shared understanding” on integrating military forces in line with the public interest.

📌 He noted that constitutional issues require time, stressing that Syria’s solution should be decentralized.

📌 Abdi emphasized power-sharing and representation of all components as core principles, requiring deeper dialogue toward a comprehensive constitution.

📌 Abdi expressed hope that full agreements could be reached in the coming period, adding that local populations should administer their areas within a constitutional framework.

Ahmad Zaidan, media advisor to the Syrian president:

Options with the SDF have narrowed, and it must bear responsibility for failing to honor what it signed on March 10, in the presence of countries with the weight of Turkey and the United States.

Central Bank Governor Abdul Qader al-Hasriya welcomed the issuance of Decree No. 293 of 2025 launching Syria’s new national currency, calling it a milestone in monetary reform.
