Security footage from Syrian hospital shows men in military clothing killing medical staff

Damacus, Syria (AP). In Sunday’s Sweida City Hospital, Sweida City Hospital, announced on Sunday’s security cameras, showed what’s seemingly killing men in military clothing.

The video published by the Activist Media Collective Suwayda 24 was dated July 16, during intense clashes between the Militia Military Military and Armed Tribal Groups and Government forces.

In a video, which was also widely shared in social media, a large group of people in scrubs can be seen kneeling on the floor in front of the armed men. Armed men grab a man and struck him in the head, as if they were going to detain him. The man tries to resist wrestling with one of the gunmen before shooting a rifle once, and then a second pistol with a pistol.

It seems that a man on a dark overalls with “Internal Security Forces” who directs men in a camouflage to hospital.

Another security chamber shows a reservoir stationed outside the object.

Active media groups say the gunmen were from Syrian military and security forces.

The Syrian government official said they could not immediately recognize the attackers in the video and investigate the event to find out if they are government -owned staff or weapons from tribal groups.

He spoke to the condition of anonymity because he was not immediately explained that the media had spoken on the matter.

The Syrian Ministry of the Interior, published in a statement by the State News Agency Sana, said the Minister of Security Minister Major Abdul Qader Al-Tahhan was appointed to supervise the investigation “to ensure that the perpetrators were identified and detained as quickly as possible”.

“We condemn and condemn the action strongest, and we claim that the criminals will be responsible and will be fair to get the right punishment, regardless of their relationship,” the statement said.

Last month, the Government established a committee commissioned to investigate attacks on civilians through the violence of the sectarian in the south of the sect, which should report a report within three months.

The incident at Sweida at the National Hospital further worsens the tension between the community of minorities and the Syrian government, after July. The clashes of the cloudy and armed Bedouin groups caused targeted sectarian attacks on them.

Violence worsened the relationship between the temporary government led by Syrian Islamist, led by President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, who hopes to approve the Government’s full control and disarm the Druze fractions.

Although the fighting has fundamentally calmed down, the southern town is surrounded by government forces, and in Mruze said that little help is in the beaten city, calling it a siege.

On Saturday, the Syrian Arabic Red Crescent, which organized a convoy to Sweida, said on Saturday that one of those convoys carrying help the day before “caught direct fire” and some of its vehicles were damaged. It does not specify which group attacked the convoy.

On Sunday, the UN Security Council adopted a statement expressing “deep concern” for violence in Southern Syria and condemning violence against civilians Sweida. It urged the government to “ensure reliable, quick, transparent, impartial and detailed research”.

This statement also repeated “liabilities under international humanitarian law to respect and protect all medical and humanitarian staff, carrying out only medical duties, their transportation measures and equipment, as well as hospitals and medical institutions.”

This expressed concerns about “foreign terrorist fighters” in Syria, at the same time calling for “all states to refrain from action or interference, which can further destabilize the country,” an obvious message to Israel, who intervened in the last month’s conflict on the side of the Syrian government.
