A US official has disclosed that the Trump administration requested Israel to halt its airstrikes on Syrian positions in Sweida, a request that Tel Aviv reportedly accepted on Tuesday evening.
The American intervention follows Syrian warnings that its tank movements in the region were intended to contain local clashes, not to threaten Israel.
Israel had launched strikes against Syrian army sites, citing violations of the disengagement agreement, resulting in military and civilian casualties.
Damascus strongly condemned the attacks, calling them a breach of Syrian sovereignty, while internal clashes continue in Sweida between armed groups and security forces.
