Syria Civil Defense loses contact with team leader
Shafaq News – Damascus The Syria Civil Defense lost contact with one of its senior responders in Suwayda during a UN evacuation mission, amid ongoing clashes between Bedouin tribal fighters and Druze armed factions in southern Syria. The organization announced in a statement that it had been unable to reach Hamza al-Amareen, head of an emergency response center, since July 16. A local woman who was with him in the vehicle said armed men stopped them, forced him out, and took the car. A brief phone call had been made the following morning, during which a man answering al-Amareen's phone said he was 'safe.' No further communication followed. Meanwhile, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) reported in a statement that several aid workers had been assaulted, an ambulance had come under fire, and a warehouse along with nearby vehicles had been burned. SARC expressed deep concern over the worsening conditions and called for the protection of civilians and relief workers, reaffirming its principles of neutrality and impartiality. The organization said it would continue providing emergency support in Suwayda and Daraa, while prioritizing volunteer safety. بيان منظمة #الهلال_الأحمر_العربي_السوري بخصوص تعرّض متطوعيها ومنشآتها لانتهاكات في المنطقة الجنوبية.A Statement Regarding Violations Against #SyrianArabRedCrescent Volunteers and Facilities in Southern #Syria. — Syrian Red Crescent (@SYRedCrescent) July 18, 2025 Earlier, the Syrian Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management Raed al-Saleh confirmed in a post on X that over 570 people had been injured, 87 killed, and hundreds of families evacuated to safer areas. منذ بداية الأحداث المؤسفة وفي ظل الظروف الأمنية والإنسانية الصعبة التي تشهدها محافظة السويداء وتلبية لنداءات المواطنيين السوريين في المحافظة، قمنا في وزارة الطوارئ وإدارة الكوارث بتشكيل غرفة عمليات مشتركة، تضم الغرفة ممثلين عن الوزارات والمؤسسات الحكومية، والدفاع المدني السوري،… — Raed Al Saleh ( رائد الصالح ) (@RaedAlSaleh3) July 18, 2025

Saudis Welcome Syrian Pilgrims with Gesture of Gratitude Inspired by Crown Prince
A large number of Saudi citizens were keen to welcome Syrian pilgrims with the well-known gesture of gratitude made by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. على طريقة امتنان ولي العهد.. الحجاج السوريين خلال وصولهم المدينة المنورة. – — أخبار السعودية (@SaudiNews50) May 21, 2025 In the circulated video, Saudis are seen placing their hands over their chests upon the arrival of the first group of pilgrims from Syria at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. This symbolic gesture was inspired by the action of the Crown Prince when former U.S. President Donald Trump announced the lifting of sanctions on Syria. Since then, it has become a symbol of appreciation and gratitude in Arab and Saudi consciousness.

Syria's leader hails Qatar's support in landmark visit
Shafaq News/ Syrian transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa arrived in Qatar on Tuesday for his first official visit, aimed at discussing bilateral relations. Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani announced the visit on X, stating that a Syrian delegation accompanies al-Sharaa on his first visit to the country that 'stood by the Syrian people since the start of the revolution and never abandoned them.' The trip follows a January 30 visit to Damascus by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, during which he congratulated al-Sharaa on assuming leadership of the transitional government and praised what he called the 'victory of the Syrian revolution.' Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed Al-Khulaifi reaffirmed his country's commitment to humanitarian and infrastructure support for Syria, including cooperation in the electricity sector, during a joint press conference at the time. Notably, Qatar has been one of the first regional countries to recognize and engage with Syria's transitional government, following the fall of al-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa recently participated in the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, held under the patronage of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, where he met with senior regional figures. نرافق اليوم فخامة الرئيس أحمد الشرع في الزيارة الرئاسية الأولى إلى الدولة التي وقفت إلى جانب السوريين منذ اليوم الأول ولم تتخل عنهم — أسعد حسن الشيباني (@AssadAlshaibani) April 15, 2025
