At least 30 people have been killed in clashes in southern Syria, as authorities sent in forces to calm the situation.
Dozens of people were also injured in violence between Sunni Bedouin tribesmen and fighters from the Druze religious minority in the city of Sweida.
Syria's Interior Ministry said at least 30 people were killed, while the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitoring organization, said the death toll was 37.
Fighting between various minority groups has escalated since the fall of the Assad regime in December.
A new Islamist-led government is working to establish control within the country, which remains in a fragile situation.
Late last year, Sunni Islamist rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) attacked Damascus. They ousted President Bashar al-Assad, whose family had ruled the country for 54 years.
Syria's Interior Ministry said early Monday that its forces would intervene directly to resolve the conflict and stop the clashes, which it said had left 100 people injured.
The governor of Sweida, Mustapha al-Bakur, called on his constituents to "exercise restraint and respond to national calls for reform."
Spiritual leaders have also called for calm.
In April and May, clashes between new security forces and Druze fighters killed dozens of people.
The Druze faith is an offshoot of Shiite Islam, with significant communities also in Lebanon, Jordan and Israel. Under Assad's regime, many were tacitly loyal to the state in the hope that it would offer protection during the 13-year civil war.
In recent months, hundreds of people have also been killed by the Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, and worshippers inside a church in Damascus have also been attacked.
Western countries have sought to restore ties with Syria. The US removed HTS from its list of foreign terrorist organisations this month, while Foreign Secretary David Lammy became the first UK minister to visit Syria since the uprising that led to the country's civil war began 14 years ago.
