Sectarian Violence in Southern Syria Kills Medical Worker Amid Clashes

Security footage from Sweida National Hospital in southern Syria shows men in military uniforms executing a medical volunteer and forcing hospital staff to kneel amid intense sectarian clashes in the region. The violence erupted between Druze militias and armed Bedouin tribal groups, with government forces deployed to suppress the clashes. Multiple sources confirm that the gunmen are believed to be members of Syrian military and security forces, though the government is investigating to determine their exact affiliation. The incident has further strained relations between the Druze minority and the Syrian government, with Druze leaders demanding international legal action. The UN Security Council has expressed concern over the violence, calling for protection of civilians and medical personnel and urging impartial investigations. A government-appointed committee is expected to report on attacks against civilians within three months.
