Chief investigator declines to say how many arrested; some were identified by videos on social media.
Syria has arrested members of its security and military forces in connection with sectarian violence in Suwayda that resulted in hundreds of deaths earlier this year. Judge Hatem Naasan confirmed detentions based on evidence from social media videos, which showed brutal acts against Druze civilians. Although the exact number of arrests remains undisclosed, the investigation continues amid calls for autonomy in the region. President Ahmed al-Sharaa is striving for national unity while facing numerous challenges following the civil war.
