Violent Sectarian Clashes in Syria Leave Over 30 Dead

Recent clashes in the predominantly Druze city of Sweida and surrounding areas in southern Syria have resulted in at least 30 fatalities and over 100 injuries. The violence reportedly stemmed from confrontations between Druze militias and Sunni Bedouin clans. Tensions escalated following an assault on a young man on the Damascus-Al-Suwaidaa highway, leading to mutual detentions and subsequent clashes. Syrian officials have confirmed a rising death toll, now reported to be around 37, as the government vows to intervene and restore order. Security forces have been deployed to the region in response to the ongoing violence, which continues to disrupt the already unstable situation following years of conflict in the country.
