Armed clashes erupted again between Druze groups and Syrian government forces in Sweida, Syria, just a day after a ceasefire was announced. Syria’s Defense Ministry stated that armed groups resumed attacks, prompting military response under rules of engagement. Residents were urged to stay home and report illegal groups.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 248 people have been killed since Sunday, including civilians, Druze, Bedouin fighters, and security personnel.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Israel will continue striking Syrian forces until they withdraw from the Druze-populated region. “We will not abandon the Druze,” he said. The violence began after Druze groups seized vehicles from Bedouin tribes, triggering a cycle of abductions and gunfire.
