Dozens Killed in Fresh Bout of Sectarian Violence in Syria’s Sweida, Govt Says

At least 30 people have been killed—and scores injured—in a fresh outbreak of sectarian violence in Sweida, a predominantly Druze region of southern Syria, the country’s interior ministry has said.

In a statement, the ministry attributed the clashes to the “absence of relevant official institutions, leading to worsening chaos, a collapse of the security situation, and the local community’s inability to contain the crisis.”
