Bedouin fighters in Syria have said that they have launched a new offensive against Druze militiamen, despite the withdrawal of Syrian government forces from the southwestern province of Suwayda, and an attempt by the country’s president to draw a line under a recent outbreak of deadly violence.
A Bedouin military commander told the Reuters news agency on Thursday that the truce only applied to government forces and not to them, adding that the fighters were seeking to free Bedouins whom Druze armed groups had detained in recent days.
