Nearly 1,000 Killed In Clashes In Syria's South, With 80,000 Displaced

"The death toll from a past week of spiraling violence in Syria’s Sweida province, a
stronghold of the Druze minority - which also has a presence of Christians - has climbed to 940 since last weekend, according to the
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, despite a recent declared ceasefire.
Among the dead are 326 Druze fighters and 262 Druze civilians, including 182 reportedly executed on the spot by forces from Syria's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham government fighters.
The Observatory also reported the deaths of 312 government security forces and 21 Sunni Bedouins—three of whom were civilians allegedly executed by Druze fighters. Additionally, some 15 Syrian government troops were killed in Israeli airstrikes amid the intermittent intervention by Israeli warplanes." ZH
