The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said today (Sunday) that at least 1,120 people have been killed in clashes in southern Syria between the Druze and regime and Bedouin forces, according to Kann News.

This includes 531 residents killed during the fighting from the Suwayda province (most Druze), including 104 non-combatant, and another 194 Druze citizens executed by Syrian regime forces despite not taking part in the clashes.

373 members of the regime forces, including members of Bedouin tribes affiliated with those forces, were killed in the fighting, while another 15 were killed in IDF strikes. Three Bedouin citizens were executed by Druze forces, and another three in an IDF strike on the Syrian Defense Ministry in Damascus.
