Smoke billows around the Druze village of Al-Mazraah, where fighters from Sunni Bedouin tribes deploy amid clashes with local Druze factions near the city of Sweida. Syrian troops pulled out of the Druze heartland of Sweida on the orders of the Islamist‑led government, following days of deadly clashes that killed nearly 600 people, according to a war monitor.
