Series of Israeli airstrikes in Damascus, including defence ministry HQ, to defend Druze religious minority, which is locked in a turf war
-
SYRIAN government officials and leaders in the Druze religious minority announced Wednesday a renewed ceasefire after days of clashes that have threatened to unravel the country's postwar political transition and have drawn intervention by Syria's powerful neighbor, Israel.
It was not immediately clear if the new agreement - which was announced by Syrian state media and in a video message by a Druze religious leader would hold. A previous ceasefire announced the day before quickly fell apart.
The announcement came after Israel launched a series of rare airstrikes in the heart of Damascus, part of a campaign that it said is intended to defend the Druze-who also form a substantial community in Israel and to push Islamic militants away from its border.
