Violent clashes erupted on the outskirts of the Suweida province early Monday morning between armed groups and the Suweida Military Council, followed by a cautious calm, according to local Syrian sources.

The sources added that Syrian tribes in Deir Ezzor sent reinforcements to support armed factions in the military confrontations taking place in the region.

The clashes coincided with a sweeping series of Israeli airstrikes launched across central and southern Syria, targeting military infrastructure near Damascus, Hama, Daraa, and Latakia. These raids, some of the most expansive in recent months, struck Syrian army facilities and communication hubs, with intensive flights by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft over the Daraa and Suweida countryside in southern Syria.

Sources reported calm prevailing following hours of clashes between Bedouin militants and the military council.

On Friday, the Military Council in Suweida, southern Syria, officially declared its full endorsement of the statement issued by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, a spiritual leader of the Druze Muslim community, calling for immediate international protection and the establishment of a safe zone under the supervision of neutral international forces to halt the bloodshed in the province.

The call comes after sectarian clashes between Syrian security forces, fighters aligned with them, and local Druze fighters resulted in the killing of 17 people in Jaramana on Monday night and 22 people in Sahnaya on Tuesday night, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) monitor.

On Wednesday, 15 Druze fighters were killed in an ambush near Damascus, according to SOHR and local outlet Suweyda 24.
