Syrian state media reports more Israeli strikes near southern Druze-majority city

Syrian state media reports Israeli strikes near the Syrian Druze-majority city of Sweida, the first to target the area after Syrian government forces withdrew, following clashes with local fighters.

Syria’s state-run SANA says “Israeli occupation aircraft carried out a raid on the outskirts of Sweida city.”

Syrian forces withdrew from Sweida earlier today after deadly clashes with Druze fighters accompanied by Israeli strikes and diplomatic pressure to retreat from the area.
