A shocking viral video from Sweida shows HTS soldiers brutally forcing two Druze men at gunpoint onto a balcony, hurling slurs, and making them climb the railing before firing shots and throwing them off. Multiple videos have emerged exposing escalating sectarian violence in southern Syria, where HTS forces battle Druze militias. Israel’s Minister of Diaspora condemned the regime, comparing it to Hamas. After weeks of bloodshed, the U.S. has brokered a fragile ceasefire, but questions remain—will the atrocities finally stop? #SyriaCrisis #Israel #Druze #SectarianViolence #HTS #Suweida #MiddleEastConflict #Netanyahu #IDF #SyrianWar #DruzeMilitias #BedouinTribes #SyriaCeasefire #Chikli #AssadRegime #SyriaIsraelTensions #BreakingNews #HTSForces #SyriaViolence #IsraelStrikes #DruzeCommunity #SyrianForces #WarInSyria #MiddleEastNews #NetanyahuSpeech #SectarianClashes #IsraelDefenseForces #SyriaUpdates #GolanHeights #HamasComparison #TreacherousAggression Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc Airstrike Caught On Live TV: Israeli Missiles Hit Syrian Defence HQ In Damascus :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/airstrike-caught-on-live-tv-israeli-missiles-hit-syrian-defence-hq-in-damascus-7803237.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~

Hamas Winning Gaza: 5 IDF Soldiers Chose To Die Against Al-Qassam | Netanyahu Under Fire [Video]

Hamas Winning Gaza: 5 IDF Soldiers Chose To Die Against Al-Qassam | Netanyahu Under Fire

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are witnessing a disturbing surge in suicides, with five soldiers taking their own lives in just two weeks. This includes a 19-year-old Norwegian immigrant and a Golani Brigade serviceman, both victims of psychological trauma tied to Israel’s prolonged war in Gaza and its broader military campaigns across seven active fronts. In 2024 alone, over 20 IDF suicides have been confirmed, primarily among active-duty reservists recently returned from intense combat. Army officials blame post-traumatic stress and long deployments for the spike. Opposition leaders are calling it a silent crisis, with thousands of soldiers withdrawing from combat roles due to mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, official numbers may underreport the true toll, as additional non-combat veterans’ deaths remain uncounted. With Israel’s military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategic—but deeply human. #Israel #IDF #GazaWar #SuicideCrisis #CombatTrauma #PTSD #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelNews #SoldierSuicides #ReservistCrisis #MentalHealth #WarOnSevenFronts #Gaza #HamasAttack #WarCasualties #TraumaOfWar #BreakingNews #IsraelPalestine #MilitaryMentalHealth #IDFSuicides ~ED.420~GR.125~HT.96~

GAZA AID DEATHS: IDF Opens Fire on Starving Aid Seekers | 32 Dead, UN Says 800 Killed Near Sites

Another deadly incident in Gaza as Israeli forces opened fire on desperate Palestinians seeking food aid, killing at least 32 and wounding dozens. Witnesses say the gunfire was “targeted to kill,” while Israel claims only “warning shots” were fired at suspects. The UN reports nearly 800 killed near aid stations in recent weeks, while Israel denies wrongdoing and blocks international media from entering Gaza. Malnutrition is worsening, with hospitals overwhelmed by starvation cases as aid remains restricted. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #AidCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #IDF #WarCrimes #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #HumanRights #FoodAid #UNReports #GazaUnderFire #CivilianCasualties #StarvationCrisis #NasserMedicalComplex #AidSeekers #GHF #Reuters #AFP #GazaConflict #CeasefireNow #IsraelPalestine #UNWarning #WarZone #ChildrenAtRisk #GlobalCrisis #Blockade #InternationalLaw #GazaNews #GazaDeaths Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~

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. Bedouin leaders call for tribal mobilization amid fears of ethnic cleansing. Sweida remains a volatile flashpoint, with the Syrian government losing control and foreign actors—including Israel—shaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence. #SyriaConflict #SweidaClashes #Druze #Bedouin #CeasefireCollapse #MiddleEastUnrest #SyrianCivilWar #TribalTensions #IsraelSyria #SyrianArmy #EthnicViolence #BreakingNews #SweidaCrisis #TribalMobilization #HumanRights #Airstrikes #Damascus #SOHR #IsraelInSyria #ForeignInfluence #FlashpointRegion #SecurityVacuum #BedouinTribes #DruzeMilitias #SyriaUnrest #WarUpdate #GolanHeightsTensions #RegionalInstability #SyrianObservatory #CivilWarSpillover #ViolenceReturns #SyriaCivilWar Also Read Airstrike Caught On Live TV: Israeli Missiles Hit Syrian Defence HQ In Damascus :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/airstrike-caught-on-live-tv-israeli-missiles-hit-syrian-defence-hq-in-damascus-7803237.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Collapses In Sweida; Israel Responds With Strike On Syrian Army :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-collapses-in-sweida-israel-responds-with-strike-on-syrian-army-7803123.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
