Armed men affiliated with Suwayda's National Guard militia, stormed the home of Druze figure Atef Hneidi (al-Basha) in al-Majdal village, throwing hand grenades inside before abducting him, hours after he issued a statement rejecting Hikmat al-Hijri's claims linking Druze Unitarians to Israel. His whereabouts remain unknown. Hneidi had previously appeared alongside al-Hijri as a signatory to a joint statement on Suwayda security arrangements, making this a public break between the two over the Israel question.
