Syria Clashes Leave Hundreds Dead, Druze Fear Reprisals | JQJO

Days of intense clashes between Sunni Bedouin tribes and Druze militias in Sweida, Syria, resulted in at least 600 deaths, including over 80 civilians, mostly Druze. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported "field executions" of civilians. A ceasefire has been implemented, but retaliatory attacks continue. Druze families are returning to their homes to find them looted and damaged. Many are still searching for missing loved ones, expressing fear and distrust of the interim government's assurances of accountability for the violence.
