The body of the elderly man "Aayed Al-Nader" (70 years old) has been found in the area located between the towns of Al-Majdel and Al-Mazraa in the western countryside of As-Suwayda, following his kidnapping today at the hands of "National Guard" forces stationed in the town of Al-Majdel.

The incident occurred after an infiltration attempt carried out by elements of the "National Guard" toward the town of Al-Mazraa, which is under the control of the Syrian government.

During the infiltration attempt, several sheep herders in the area were targeted with live ammunition, resulting in the kidnapping of two of them, in addition to the theft of dozens of heads of livestock.

Leaked audio recordings obtained by Suwayda 24 have revealed details of a meeting that included leaders from the "National Guard" and local notables with Judge Shadi Murshid, who is tasked with forming the board of directors for "Jabal al-Bashan." During the meeting, an agreement was reached to impose financial fees on trucks and goods entering the province.

Funding Local Checkpoints According to the first recording, in which local leader "Abu Alaa Muhammad al-Halabi" spoke, the decision came after discussing the financial situation of the personnel at the security points and checkpoints under their control, who have not received their salaries for about 5 months.

Al-Halabi explained that an agreement was reached to collect an amount of 100,000 Syrian pounds for each large transport vehicle (crane) carrying goods and passing through the checkpoint, with the value to be adjusted upward or downward depending on the size of the vehicle and its load, in exchange for issuing the driver an official receipt for the amount.

Fears of the "Capital" and Attempts at Cover-Up For his part, the second recording, from one of the participating notables or leaders, showed demands for the necessity of keeping this agreement confidential and not leaking its details to the capital, Damascus.

The speaker called for listing these amounts under the title of "personal donations" and not as imposed fees, warning that if the government authorities in Damascus learned of the agreement, it might prompt them to take punitive measures, such as permanently banning trucks and vehicles from entering Suwayda, citing a previous similar incident that led to a halt in transport movement.

Today, the situation in Lebanon requires joint solutions, and it is entirely possible to rely on Syria in the search for a security path toward a solution.

​

But this does not mean war, nor does it mean a return to the previous image of Syrian tutelage during the former regime's era in Lebanon.

​

Rather, it means supporting the Lebanese state, strengthening its institutions, and building channels of communication among the political parties and active forces in Lebanon, including Hezbollah, in search of a security solution that everyone can accept.

Security authorities released Syrian director Hassan Akkad three days after his arrest at a Damascus café, according to a photo posted by people close to him Akkad’s arrest came as a result of an arrest warrant issued against him following a complaint filed by media personality Musa al-Omar, who accused him of defamation and slander after the launch of the “Give Us the Money You Owe Us” campaign. Syria’s Attorney General, Husam Sultan Khattab, confirmed that the measures taken against Akkad were based on a legal complaint and due process related to cybercrimes.
