Violence in Syria's Druze region of Sweida intensified as sectarian clashes occurred. The government, along with international mediators, sought to establish a ceasefire amidst escalating tensions between Druze and Bedouin tribes.

Late on Saturday, the interior ministry said clashes in Sweida city had been halted and the area cleared of Bedouin tribal fighters following the deployment.

The conflict had drawn airstrikes against Syrian forces by neighboring Israel in defense of the Druze before a truce halted most of the fighting.
