Sweida under siege: Syria investigates military atrocities after mass killings

Описание: Civilians fleeing the southern Syrian city of Sweida came under fire, as armed men opened fire on buses evacuating Bedouin families under a fragile, U.S.-backed truce. What followed was a harrowing escalation in sectarian violence between the region’s Druze minority and Bedouin tribes, violence that has already left hundreds dead.

Eyewitnesses and rights groups report field executions, sniper attacks, and atrocities committed by both sides, with growing evidence pointing to involvement by Syrian government forces. Residents allege that soldiers in military uniforms executed civilians at close range, claims serious enough that Syria’s defence ministry has promised an investigation into the "shocking violations" in Sweida.

As Israel, Turkey, and regional powers scramble to broker a ceasefire, the violence poses a critical test for Syria’s fragile interim government. The humanitarian toll is mounting, and the country’s future stability is in jeopardy.
