The Ministries of Interior and Defense demonstrated a rapid response and direct engagement with video clips documenting field executions carried out by unknown gunmen in the city of Sweida.
As soon as the footage went viral, the Ministry of Interior announced an urgent investigation to identify and prosecute the perpetrators, stressing that what happened constituted serious crimes punishable by law and that "no one is above the law."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense monitored what it described as "serious violations" committed by a group wearing military uniforms, confirming that they were not part of its regular formations. It clarified that it had formed a special committee to investigate the identity of this group, recalling the existence of explicit circulars prohibiting the entry of any unofficial forces into operational areas.
The government's prompt response reflects a responsible approach to crimes that threaten public security and human rights, and affirms the commitment of official institutions to holding perpetrators accountable, regardless of their affiliation.
