Dozens killed in clashes between Druze and Bedouin in southern Syria

Açıklama:

Dozens have been killed and over 200 wounded in armed clashes between Sunni Bedouin tribal fighters and Druze militias in southern Syria’s Suweida province. The violence began Sunday after the reported abduction of a Druze merchant and spread to multiple towns, despite government efforts to restore order. Shelling, drone attacks, and house burnings were reported. Israel said it struck tanks moving toward Suweida, citing potential threats. The clashes mark the latest sectarian violence in Syria, where the Druze minority fears for its safety amid ongoing instability, the BBC has reported. Calls for calm have been issued by officials and Druze religious leaders.
