Armed Druze groups have attacked Syrian security forces in Suwayda, killing at least one soldier and wounding others, Al Jazeera reported. Several villages were also shelled, violating a recently agreed ceasefire.

The Syrian government accused local rebel groups of inciting violence and targeting its forces. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four people were killed, including three soldiers.

Fighting between Druze factions and Bedouin tribes erupted last month, displacing hundreds. A US-brokered truce had briefly calmed the unrest, but tensions have resurfaced. An investigation has been launched, according to Al Jazeera.
