💨 Abstract

Clashes resumed in southern Syria's Druze-majority city of Sweida after a ceasefire collapsed. The Syrian Defense Ministry accused local militias of violating the agreement, leading to renewed fighting. This conflict follows a rebel offensive that ousted President Bashar Assad, causing instability and sectarian tensions. Israel has intervened, launching airstrikes in support of the Druze, leading to heightened tensions with Syria's new leaders.
