☄️ Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria. In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. “Indeed, God does not love the treacherous.” Oh, sons of our steadfast Syrian people, Oh our free people in the proud Jabal al-Arab! The Islamic Resistance Front in Syria, the brave, is following with great concern the rapid developments in our beloved southern Syria and the fateful turning points the region is undergoing as a result of the ongoing Zionist incursions and the violation of our land and sovereignty. In this context, the Front has paused to consider the recent and grave statements issued by Hikmat al-Hijri. These statements have crossed all red lines and violated the fundamental values of the nation and the homeland. We, in the Front, by virtue of our national and legitimate responsibility, affirm the following: 1️⃣ Our categorical rejection of Hikmat al-Hijri’s destructive agenda: We vigorously reject and condemn Hikmat al-Hijri’s capitulationist proposals, which represent a total surrender to the usurping Zionist entity and a desperate attempt to tie the fate of Suwaida to an entity founded on massacres. These positions serve only his own interests and those of his followers, and constitute a betrayal of the history of Jabal al-Arab’s struggle against colonialism. 2️⃣ Reminding people of the enemy’s crimes in the Golan: We call on those promoting these proposals to consider what the occupation has done to our Druze people in the occupied Syrian Golan, including attempts to erase Arab identity, confiscate land, forcibly impose Israeli identity, and systematically restrict the freedom of the people—all of which demonstrate the falsity of any so-called Zionist promise. 3️⃣ Distinction between the Druze and the Zionist movement: The Front affirms that its compass is clear and that its enmity and confrontation are not directed at the Druze community, which is an integral part of the fabric of the Syrian people and has been their protector throughout history. Rather, our direct target today is the Zionist movement and its dishonest agents who have chosen to sell out their national identity and throw themselves into the embrace of the occupation. 4️⃣ A strong warning: We openly declare, as of today, that this pro-Zionist faction and all those who ally themselves with the Zionist enemy or promote its divisive projects have revealed their flagrant treason and collaboration. Therefore, they are legitimate and direct targets for our mujahideen everywhere, and the Front will not tolerate them. 5️⃣ Our position on the Damascus regime: We clearly affirm that the de facto authority in Damascus is a treacherous and failed regime that has abandoned the country. However, this regime’s criminality and treason in no way justify surrendering to it. In the arms of the Zionist enemy, salvation from Damascus’s treason will never come by accepting occupation as an alternative or an option. Oh our free people in Jabal al-Arab and in every corner of Syria: Salvation will not come by seeking strength from an occupying usurper, but through comprehensive popular and national solidarity, isolating these treacherous voices, and strengthening the option of resistance until all Syrian territory is free of Zionists and their allies. “And those who have done wrong will know to what [kind of] recompense they will be returned.” Islamic Resistance Front in Syria August 25, 2026
