Syrian officials and Druze leaders have announced a new ceasefire after days of violent clashes, but Israel has continued its airstrikes after intervening.
Syria should not be allowed back into the international community unless it is able to uphold protections for the Druze and its other minority groups, Israel has said.
The interior ministry said clashes in Sweida city had been halted and the area cleared of Bedouin tribal fighters following the deployment.
