Syrian troops have entered Sweida after Druze leaders approved military deployment to end deadly clashes with Bedouin groups. Over 100 people have been killed, including civilians and security forces, as violence spiraled across the province. Damascus imposed a curfew and declared a ceasefire following an agreement with Druze factions. This marks the first major military entry into Sweida since President Ahmed al-Sharaa assumed power. The government says troops aim to protect civilians and will respond only to attacks by outlawed factions.

Israel launched an airstrike on Syrian tanks approaching the Druze-dominated Sweida region, releasing chilling footage of the attack. The IDF says the strike was a defensive measure to protect the Druze minority and deter threats near Israel's border. Defense Minister Katz warned Syria against escalation. The move follows intense clashes in Sweida that killed over 80, including civilians. Israel has reiterated its vow to prevent hostile forces from gaining a foothold in southern Syria amid growing regional instability.
