Clashes that shook southern Syria this week have killed hundreds of people, including civilians, and drawn in an array of both local and international players, harking back to the dynamics of the country’s nearly 14-year civil war.
The head of the United Nations human rights office called on Friday for Syria's interim authorities to ensure accountability and justice for killings and rights violations in the southern city of Sweida.
Israel intervened in the conflict launching dozens of airstrikes on convoys of government fighters and striking the Syrian Defence Ministry headquarters in central Damascus.
