Clashes have resumed in the southern Syrian city of Sweida between Syrian government forces and local Druze fighters just hours after a ceasefire was announced. The ceasefire aimed to end days of deadly sectarian violence in the Druze-majority city but collapsed quickly. In addition to the government-Druze fighting, Syrian Bedouin fighters launched a new offensive against Druze militants in Sweida province despite the truce. A Bedouin military commander told Reuters that the ceasefire applied only to government troops and that the Bedouin offensive sought to free Bedouins recently detained by Druze militants. The renewed violence occurs amid Israel's threat to escalate involvement in support of the Druze minority. The clashes have intensified sectarian tensions in the region, with multiple armed groups involved including Syrian government forces, Druze fighters, and Bedouin militias.
