SWEIDA, SYRIA - JULY 15: Black smoke billows in the distance on July 15, 2025 near Sweida, Syria. The Syrian Ministry of Defence announced Monday that it has begun deploying military units to the southern province of Sweida (also spelled Suwayda or Suweida), following sectarian clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes that left at least 37 people dead and 100 injured as of July 14. The violence erupted after several kidnappings on both sides, including the abduction of a Druze merchant on Friday. (Photo by Stringer/Getty Images)
