Syrian troops entered the predominantly Druze city of Sweida on Tuesday following two days of clashes, the first time government forces have deployed to the city since Ahmed al-Sharaa took over as President in December.
The deployment came after the Druze spiritual leadership, which had resisted any deployment of Syrian troops there, urged Druze fighters to lay down their arms and allow government forces in.
