Dozens killed in violent clashes in predominantly Druze Syrian city

At least 37 people have been killed in violent clashes between Bedouin tribes and local Druze fighters in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, a war monitor reported Monday, marking the deadliest bout of unrest in the region since May. The unrest has prompted the Syrian government to deploy security forces in a bid to restore order, as fears grow of renewed instability in the Druze-majority province.
