Southern Tribes Gathering (Arabic: تجمع عشائر الجنوب) is a militant organization in Suwayda Governorate formed by tribal forces.
History
After the fall of the Assad regime, they prepared to hand over their weapons to the Syrian transitional government.[3]
They actively participated in the fight against Druze groups in Suwayda during clashes in southern Syria in July 2025, demanding the release of Bedouin detainees,[4][5] then expressed their commitment to a ceasefire.[6]
