In Sweida, Syria, brutal fighting between Druze fighters, Bedouin militants, and regime forces left over 500 people dead in five days, with reports of massacres and mass graves.
A US brokered ceasefire halted the regime’s assault, but Bedouin fighters rejected it, claiming they were trying to free detained relatives.
Israeli airstrikes on Damascus pressured Syria’s new ruler, al-Sharaa, to withdraw forces, but the city was left devastated with looted homes and overwhelmed hospitals.
Many Druze reject any return of regime forces, while Bedouins fear revenge attacks and are fleeing the area.
I’m sure this will all just blow over nicely.
