Seven people, including a child, were killed, and around 32 others were injured on Sunday in armed clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouins in the Al-Maqous neighborhood east of Sweida Governorate.

Medical sources reported that the mutual shelling caused widespread injuries.

At the same time, the Syrian Ministry of Interior announced the deployment of forces to disperse the clashes, which led to the closure of the Damascus-Sweida international road.
