A Druze leader in Syria has accused the government of violating a ceasefire in Sweida province, where clashes between local militias have resulted in numerous deaths and displacements. The Druze spiritual leadership called for cooperation with government forces, but influential leader Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri rejected this, claiming it was imposed by Damascus and called for resistance against government actions. The situation has raised concerns about Israeli intervention, with Israel stating its commitment to protect the Druze minority.
