Armed opposition groups in Syria have been attacking government forces to the west of the main Druze city of Sweida on Syria’s southern front. Under heavy fighting rebel forces were forced to withdraw from an army base after seizing part of it. Analysts in Damascus say the attacks are being guided from a joint U.S.-Saudi intelligence center in Jordan. Syrian people interviewed on the street also point to the inordinate influence of Israel in trying to split the country into ethnic or religious sectors so that Israel will be the only strong power in the region.
