Residents in Syria’s Sweida report calm after tribal fighters withdraw, following a week of clashes between Bedouin and Druze fighters.

Bedouin fighters have withdrawn from Syria’s Sweida after a newly implemented ceasefire, easing tensions following a week of fierce clashes with Druze armed groups.

Israeli and Syrian leaders have agreed to a ceasefire to halt the deadly clashes in Sweida that have left hundreds dead and thousands displaced.

Syrian forces are set to redeploy to the Druze-majority city of Sweida to quell renewed clashes, despite Israeli warnings, escalating tensions and threatening a fragile ceasefire in Syria’s south.

Israel’s military strikes the Syrian military headquarters in Damascus, citing concerns over Druze civilians’ safety in southern Syria.

At least 18 people killed and dozens wounded as clashes between Druze and Bedouin tribes escalate in Syria’s Sweida province.
