(Reuters) -Armed groups attacked Syria's internal security forces in Sweida, killing one member and injuring others, Syria's state-run Ekhbariya TV reported on Sunday citing a security source.

The source said the armed groups violated the ceasefire agreed in the predominantly Druze region last month after factional bloodshed in which hundreds have been killed.
