(Zaman Al Wasl)- Tensions eased in southern Syria after three troops from the Druze community were released by an armed group in Daraa province, local activists said Monday.
An armed group in Busr al-Harir town held three forces on Saturday, demanding the release of an old man was kidnapped in the neighboring Sweida province ten days ago.
The Druze stronghold of Swedia, which made up three percent of Syria's population before 2011, has been spared the same scale of devastating violence, fighting and mass detainment that has rocked communities elsewhere in the country over the course of Syria's nine-year war.
