The Syrian interior ministry on July 21 confirmed the start of the evacuation of Bedouin families from the city of Sweida, following week-long clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes.
Gen. Ahmad al-Dalati, commander of the Interior Security Forces in Syria’s southern province, said the government would facilitate the departure of those wishing to leave Sweida, Syria’s state-run SANA news agency reported.
