Syria’s armed Bedouin clans announced Sunday they had withdrawn from the Druze-majority city of Sweida following weeklong clashes and a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, as humanitarian aid convoys started to enter the battered southern city.

As calm was reported in the Syrian city of Sweida on Sunday (July 20), members of the internal security command were deployed in Al-Mazra'a village near the city, blocking entry of armed Bedouin tribesmen.

Renewed violence in Syria between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes is threatening to deepen divisions in a country recuperating from a civil war.
