Renewed clashes in Syria's Druze-majority Sweida kill four people, monitor says

Renewed sectarian clashes occurred on Sunday in Syria’s Druze-majority Sweida province, killing at least four people and displacing many.
The violence followed a fragile ceasefire after deadly July clashes involving Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouins, with government forces intervening.
The Syrian government alleged that Druze factions violated the ceasefire through assaults on troops in Tal Hadid, while government forces subsequently reestablished control over the area.
The route between Sweida and Damascus has been closed off since July 20 due to a government-enforced siege, and the humanitarian passage was briefly suspended following violations of the ceasefire.
The government has formed a committee to investigate July's violence, while U.S.-mediated talks continue to seek a security arrangement despite ongoing tensions.
