Violence Erupts in Sweida, Violating Ceasefire Agreement

Armed groups launched a surprise attack on Syria's internal security forces in Sweida, resulting in the death of one service member and several others injured, according to Syria's state-run Ekhbariya TV, citing a reliable security source.

This violence marks a breach of a ceasefire agreement established in the Druze-majority region last month after a series of factional clashes claimed hundreds of lives.

The recent escalation underscores the fragile stability in the area as rival factions continue to challenge the ceasefire's efficacy despite previous agreements intended to secure peace.
