Syria clashes kill dozens, threaten fragile stability

Deadly clashes between Bedouin tribes, government forces, and Druze factions in Syria have erupted, raising concerns about the country's fragile stability and resulting in dozens of deaths. The fighting, which began after a checkpoint robbery, has escalated into tit-for-tat attacks and kidnappings, with government forces accused of siding with the Bedouin. Israel has also intervened, striking military targets in the south. This violence follows a period of instability since the fall of Assad, with sectarian tensions and concerns about the new government's inclusivity, threatening to derail Syria's recovery from a devastating civil war.
