Sectarian-tinged clashes left hundreds dead and attracted Israeli military intervention. A U.S. envoy said Israel and Syria had agreed to a truce.The recent clashes in Syria, which have resulted in hundreds of deaths, have also drawn the attention of neighboring Israel, leading to military intervention. In response, a U.S. envoy has announced that Israel and Syria have agreed to a truce. The Syrian government has declared a cease-fire and plans to redeploy its forces to the southern province of Sweida in an effort to quell the sectarian violence. President Ahmed al-Shara described the situation as a dangerous turning point for the nation and blamed the Israeli intervention for exacerbating the instability. The U.S. special envoy, Thomas J. Barrack Jr., hailed the truce as a breakthrough and called on all armed groups, including Bedouin fighters and minority Druse, to lay down their weapons. It is unclear how this new truce differs from the one announced on Wednesday, which was said to have been agreed upon by all parties involved. However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that armed groups from outside Sweida violated the cease-fire on Saturday by attacking the Druse-majority city. The situation remains tense, but the hope is that this truce will bring an end to the violence. According to The New York Times, the Syrian government has managed to calm the situation despite difficult circumstances, and the international community is working towards a resolution to bring stability to the region.
