Syrian authorities on Monday evacuated Bedouin families from the Druze-majority city of Sweida, after a ceasefire in the southern province halted a week of sectarian bloodshed that a monitor said

Syria’s armed Bedouin clans' withdrawal from the Druze-majority city of Sweida brought a cautious calm to the area, with humanitarian convoys on their way.

Dozens of Bedouin tribesmen marched to Al-Mazraa near Sweida on July 20, residents reported calm in city after days of violence. The armed tribesmen drove towards village which is 12 Km away from centre of Sweida.
