Israel bombs Syria army HQ, fighting reignites in Syria's Druze city of Sweida
Fighting between Syrian government forces and local Druze fighters continued in the southern Druze city of Sweida on Wednesday, violating a ceasefire announced only a few hours earlier that aimed to quell days of deadly sectarian violence. Israel responded by launching a strike against the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus, saying that it was acting to protect the religious minority.
