In southern Syria, heavy fighting has once again erupted between Druze fighters and Bedouin armed groups, just hours after Syrian government forces withdrew from the province of Suwayda as part of a ceasefire deal. A spokesperson for Syria’s Interior Ministry is denying reports that Syrian forces are being redeployed to the region. The U.N. Human Rights Office reports all factions fighting in Suwayda have committed widespread rights violations, including summary executions, arbitrary killings, kidnappings and looting.
