Syria, Druze announce renewed ceasefire after Israeli airstrikes

From Global News.

Syrian government officials and leaders in the Druze religious minority announced a renewed ceasefire following days of clashes.

The announcement came after Israel launched a series of rare airstrikes in the heart of Damascus as part of a campaign it said was intended to defend the Druze.

The violence has threatened to unravel the country’s postwar political transition and has brought intervention by Syria’s powerful neighbour, Israel.

It was not immediately clear if the new agreement would hold after a previous ceasefire announced the day before quickly fell apart.
