Hundreds were killed in Syria’s Sweida province, where government forces were sent to quell clashes between Druze factions and Bedouin tribes

Hatem Radwan stared at the bloodstained floor and cushions in the Al-Radwan guest house in Syria’s Druze city of Sweida, still wondering how he survived the shooting spree more than a week ago that killed his relatives and friends.

“I’m not sleeping. I wish I would have died; it would have been better for me,” the 70-year-old said, stating two of his sons-in-law and his daughter’s father-in-law were killed when armed men stormed into the guest house on July 16.

Hundreds of people were killed in days of sectarian violence in Syria’s Sweida province, where government forces were sent to quell clashes between Druze factions and Bedouin tribes.
