"Unsurprising. Hikmat has placed himself outside of the Syrian state through his actions the past days and closed the door to a deal so he has not options but to continue fighting. He'll try again to bait the Syrian state into more fighting. The current ceasefire rests on the government's ability to resist this and on other Druze factions to actually deal with his SMC"
