Clashes and exile target Wajeeh Darzi in As-Suwayda
Atif Henidi, a prominent social leader in the Druze-majority province of Suwayda, arrived in Damascus after being kidnapped by members of the "National Guard" from Suwayda's outskirts. The kidnapping was reportedly due to his criticism of Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri's statements claiming that the Druze are "an inseparable part of the State of Israel," a claim Henidi firmly denied. Henidi is regarded as a prominent national figure and refused to back down from his positions despite being tortured during the kidnapping, which led to his exile from Suwayda. Authorities confirmed that a force from the "National Guard" facilitated his safe exit to Damascus at his own request, while denying any arrests or torture, emphasizing that Henidi left voluntarily. It is noted that Henidi expresses a stance against any division or entanglement with Israel, representing the views of a large segment of the local population who consider Hajri's statements a distortion of history and geography.
