DAMASCUS: Renewed sectarian clashes in southern Syria’s Druze-majority Sweida province killed at least four people on Sunday, as Damascus accused local groups of violating last month’s ceasefire.

The province witnessed deadly clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouins in July that drew the intervention of government forces and tribal fighters who came to support the Bedouins.
