Syrian security forces and Druze gunman deploy in a Damascus suburb

Maravi Post Reporter

Security forces in Syria and local Druze gunmen deployed inside the Damascus suburb of Jaramana.

It is a suburb where days of clashes between pro-Syrian government gunmen and fighters who belong to the Druze minority sect left dozens dead or injured.

At a later stage, heavy weapons will be handed over to authorities. As part of the deal, forces from the defense ministry will deploy around Jaramana without going inside.

On Thursday, Syria’s Druze spiritual leader harshly criticized Syria’s government for what he called an “unjustified genocidal attack” on the minority community.

Early Friday, the Druze religious leadership said the community is part of Syria and refuses to break away from the country, adding that the role of the state should be activated in the southern province of Sweida and authorities should be in control of the Sweida-Damascus highway.

Meanwhile, Israel’s air force struck near Syria’s presidential palace early Friday after warning Syrian authorities not to march toward villages inhabited by members of the Druze sect in southern Syria.

Friday’s strike was Israel’s second on Syria this week, and attacking an area close to the presidential palace appears to send a strong warning to Syria’s new leadership that is mostly made up of Islamist groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.

The motive of the alleged gunman in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is still unclear. Police have been sifting through Luigi Mangione’s online history since his arrest to learn more about his ideology, and the proposed merger between grocery giants Kroger and Albertsons hangs in the balance.

Five people died in the incident, including three police officers and a soldier when a gunman opened fire near the Embassy.

According to Tanzania’s head of police operations, Liberatus Sabas the gunman attacked two police officers, took their guns and then “began shooting sporadically towards the French Embassy.”

“He then took cover at a structure next to the French Embassy where he continued shooting,” Sabas said.

Police said the armed man was a foreigner and police believe he was from Somalia.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan said after the incident that three police officers, a member of the auxiliary police and the armed man were killed as she orders for an investigation.

She offered her condolences to families of those who lost their lives in the incident.

Wednesday’s shooting incident occurred not far from the scene of the deadly bombing in 1998 at the U.S. Embassy.
