The ministry stated that the arrest was carried out by the leadership of the Internal Security Directorate in Daraa, citing the suspect\u2019s involvement in serious crimes against civilians during his service under the Syrian regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an official statement issued via the ministry\u2019s verified accounts, al-Soudi is accused of participating in multiple armed operations, most notably the clashes in the Jobar neighborhood of Damascus. The statement added that he also took part in operations in Daraa, including heavy fighting in the city of Tafas, which resulted in injuries leading to the amputation of his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Interior Ministry statement further said that al-Soudi was involved in acts of desecration of victims\u2019 bodies and reportedly boasted of his crimes, sharing photographic evidence of himself armed with various weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrest marks a continuation of Syrian authorities\u2019 efforts to address alleged past violations in areas affected by the Syrian conflict. Daraa province has seen a complex history of clashes involving multiple armed factions since 2011, with governance now under the Syrian government\u2019s control following reconciliation agreements in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Interior Ministry confirmed that investigations are ongoing and that further legal measures will be taken in accordance with Syrian law.
