A report says at least two drones hit the Syrian Defense Ministry building in the capital, as clashes erupted again in Sweida despite a ceasefire.

Clashes have raged in the Syrian city of Sweida after a ceasefire between government forces and Druze armed groups collapsed and as Israel threatened to escalate its involvement. The Israeli army said that it struck near the entrance to the Syrian Ministry of Defence in Damascus.

Syrian troops are trying to intervene in sectarian violence in the south between the Druze minority and Bedouins.
