Ceasefire Hangs in the Balance
Moreover, Druze elders and Syrian officials announced a renewed ceasefire following negotiations. However, factions such as Sheikh Hikmat al‑Hijri rejected the agreement, raising concerns about its durability. As part of this fragile pact, the government began withdrawing troops from Sweida.

Simultaneously, intense fighting in Gaza worsened humanitarian conditions. Israeli airstrikes killed dozens—while a stampede at a Gaza food hub killed 20 people. UN agencies reported soaring child malnutrition rates—UNICEF noted severe malnutrition rose from 5.5% to 10.2% among under‑fives between March and June.
