💨 Abstract

Recent violence in Syria involving government forces, Bedouin tribes, the Druze, and Israel underscores the country's ongoing instability seven months after the fall of longtime leader Bashar Assad. Clashes in the province of Sweida between Druze militias and Sunni Bedouin tribes resulted in Israeli intervention, bombing Syrian targets, and attempting to support the Druze. A truce was mediated, but sectarian tensions keep fanning.
