Deadly gun battles erupt in mainly Druze city in Syria
Heavy fighting has broken out in Suwayda, a city in Syria with a predominantly Druze population. Reports indicate that the clashes involve Bedouin tribes and local fighters. Dozens of casualties have been reported as a result of the gun battles. The exact cause of the escalation remains unclear, but tensions have been simmering in the region due to a combination of economic hardship, political grievances, and historical rivalries. The situation is volatile, and further violence is feared. Regional observers are calling for de-escalation and dialogue to prevent further loss of life and restore stability to the area.
