The Syrian Interior Ministry announced that government forces will be redeployed to the area to restore order.
The violence resumed after Druze groups attacked Bedouin communities, breaking a ceasefire agreement. The Syrian presidency accused Druze forces of using “brutal violence” and warned that Israeli involvement is worsening the crisis.
A Bedouin commander claimed they were not part of the ceasefire. Israel reportedly carried out airstrikes on Sweida during the renewed clashes.
Earlier this week, Türkiye helped broker a temporary ceasefire, and Syrian troops withdrew. However, the truce quickly collapsed, leading to new clashes in Sweida, Damascus, and Deraa.
