The Syrian Brigade Party, a political group from Suwayda, Syria, claimed today that a "terrorist operations room" in Dara'a is working with Hamas. The party also alleged involvement of ISIS, according to a social media post. This claim was made in the context of ongoing protests in Suwayda, where demonstrators in Karama Square expressed a desire for Israeli involvement, with one sign reading "Thanks Netanyahu, we want to join Israel," as reported from a protest today. The Syrian Brigade Party's statement suggests an attempt by elements in Suwayda to draw greater Israeli attention to the situation in southern Syria. The group's social media activity indicates a focus on alleged militant activities in neighboring Dara'a province.
