Armed groups attack Syrian government forces in Sweida, Syrian TV reports
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleArmed groups attacked Syria’s internal security forces in Sweida, killing one member and injuring others, Syria’s state-run Ekhbariya TV reports, citing a security source.
The source says the armed groups violated the ceasefire agreed in the predominantly Druze region last month after factional bloodshed in which hundreds were killed.
Last month’s violence prompted Israeli strikes on Syrian government forces, which Jerusalem said were aimed at protecting the Druze community.
