Israel to give Syrian ‘internal security forces’ 48 hours to operate in Sweida

Israel is allowing Syrian “internal security forces” to enter the Sweida Governorate for 48 hours, an Israeli official says, citing ongoing unrest in southern Syria, Report informs via The Times of Israel.

Israel has said it would not allow "regime military forces" south of Damascus, which could be the reason it is calling them “internal security forces” in its statement.

Government forces withdrew from Sweida on Wednesday night, saying they had reached a ceasefire with local Druze forces.
