Hey there! Have you heard about what’s happening in Syria’s Sweida Province? Let’s break it down together.
Recently, there have been clashes (that means fights) between two groups: the Druze fighters and the Bedouin tribes. These groups live in the same area but have different backgrounds and traditions.
Sadly, at least 37 people have lost their lives, and about 50 others have been hurt in the fighting. That’s a lot of people! 😔
The trouble started in a place called al-Muqawwas neighborhood in Sweida. People reported heavy gunfire and even shelling (that’s when big explosive devices are used). The fighting then spread to other areas nearby.
Right now, there hasn’t been any official help to stop the fighting. But local community leaders (kind of like neighborhood elders) are trying to talk to both sides to calm things down and release people who have been taken prisoner.
Everyone in the area is very worried, and they’re staying alert in case more trouble happens.
It’s important to remember that conflicts like this affect real people and their families. Peace is something we all hope for! 🕊️
