The Syrian interior ministry on Friday denied reports that its troops have been deployed in Sweida province after renewed clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes threatened to unravel a fragile truce brokered earlier this week.
Ministry spokesperson Nour Al-Din Al-Baba said that no official statement has been issued regarding any such deployment, Syria’s state-run SANA news agency reported.
