Sectarian violence in southern Syria killed more than 1,260 people before the implementation of a recent ceasefire, a war monitor said yesterday, offering an updated toll as it continued to document deaths that took place prior to the truce.

The dead from the violence in Sweida province included 505 Druze fighters and 298 Druze civilians, 194 of whom were reportedly “summarily executed by defence and interior ministry personnel.”
