At least 30 people have died in clashes between Sunni Bedouin tribes and Druze fighters in Sweida, southern Syria. The violence, escalating since the Assad regime's collapse, prompted government intervention to de-escalate the situation. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports a higher death toll of 37, with scores more injured. The conflict highlights the fragility of Syria's new Islamic-led government's efforts to establish control.
