Fighting continues in Syrian city of Suwayda despite ceasefire announcement

Fighting continues between Syrian security forces and armed groups in the southern city of Suwayda.
It comes hours after a ceasefire was announced after negotiations with local community leaders.
Meanwhile, Israel carried out air strikes targeting Syrian forces - entering Suwadya - in what it says was a measure to prevent the troops from attacking the Druze community in the city.
The latest fighting between Bedouin groups and Druze fighters has killed at least 70 people since the weekend.
Syria says Israeli air strikes violate international law.

Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid has the latest from Damascus, Syria.

Rob Geist Pinfold is a Lecturer in International Security at King’s College London, he is also a research fellow at Peace Research Center Prague.
He blames Israel for instigating tensions between two groups into full-scale violence in Suwayda.
