Who are the Druze and why is Israel attacking Syria?

Israel-Syria BREAKING: U.S Announces Israel-Syria Ceasefire | 300 Killed in Sweida Violence

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze minority. The Israeli Air Force targeted Syrian regime positions in the south, insisting on their withdrawal. Although Tel Aviv insists the action was to shield its "Druze brothers," experts suggest deeper motives, from political posturing to preventing a strong, unified Syria under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. While the U.S. confirmed the ceasefire, ground reports indicate that fighting continues in several regions. Netanyahu urged Israeli Druze not to cross the border. With historic roots of autonomy and past alliances, the Druze community finds itself fractured in post-Assad Syria, unsure of its place under the new regime.

SYRIAN CIVIL WAR | Heavy Fighting FLARES-UP between the Druze & Bedouins in Conflict-zone Sweida

A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syria’s Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian army’s withdrawal from key hotspots. Damascus denies redeploying forces, while Israel is blamed for stoking unrest and violating sovereignty.

CHAOS And PANIC In Tel Aviv As Houthis Launch Third Attack On Ben Gurion Airport In Two Days

Yemen's Armed Forces have launched a devastating hypersonic missile attack on Israel’s busiest airport — Ben Gurion, near Tel Aviv — marking the third strike in just two days. The missile, dubbed “Palestine-2,” caused widespread panic as sirens wailed and incoming flights were diverted or left circling above the Mediterranean. Israeli reports confirm the airport was shut down temporarily, halting all operations. Yemen’s spokesman, Yahya Saree, confirmed the mission’s “complete success,” warning further strikes will continue as long as Gaza remains under siege. The aerial blockade imposed by Yemen since May has escalated, shifting from drone strikes to high-powered ballistic weaponry. Saree issued a chilling warning to Arab and Muslim nations — if Israel succeeds in Gaza, “your turn will come.” Yemen’s intensifying operations, rooted in solidarity with Palestine, are now disrupting Israeli airspace and testing regional security in ways unseen before. The message is clear: the war in Gaza won’t stay in Gaza. #YemenStrikes #BenGurionAirport #IsraelUnderAttack #HypersonicMissile #Palestine2 #GazaSiege #MiddleEastCrisis #YahyaSaree #TelAvivMissileStrike #YemenSolidarity #GazaGenocide #BallisticMissileAttack #ArabWorldWarning #IsraelBlockade #ZulfiqarMissile #SanaaStrike #AirportShutdown #IsraelNews #GazaWar2025 #MissileAlert ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~
