Arab Tribes Mobilize as Clashes Erupt Again in Syria’s Sweida

Clashes between Druze armed groups and Bedouins have reignited in Sweida, southern Syria, prompting Arab tribes from various regions to head toward the area in support of the Bedouins.

Fighting intensified last night following a Druze assault, with convoys of tribesmen advancing in vehicles. Local sources report ongoing clashes west of the city.

The Syrian Interior Ministry stated that government forces have not deployed to Sweida and remain on standard alert. However, an unnamed Israeli official said Israel has agreed to allow limited Syrian government access to the area for 48 hours due to instability.

Despite efforts by Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara to reduce tensions, the violence has escalated, with hundreds reportedly killed.

Germany recorded 18,585 cases of sexual abuse against children and young people last year, averaging 50 victims a day, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced in Berlin. Of these, 16,354 involved children under 14 and 1,191 involved youths aged 15–17.

Authorities registered 12,368 suspects, with one-third under 18. In 57% of cases, the victim and perpetrator knew each other. The report also logged over 52,000 crimes involving child sexual imagery, mostly online. Dobrindt called the figures “shockingly high” and urged strict prosecution of offenders.
