Tensions in southern Syria have escalated dramatically as pro-regime militias reportedly set fire to homes belonging to the Druze community, branding them with slurs like “Druze pigs.” Convoys of armed fighters have been seen heading toward Sweida, raising fears of a wider sectarian clash. The Druze minority, long caught between loyalty to the Syrian state and local autonomy, now faces a fresh wave of violence.

Syria Clash: Intense fighting has reignited in and around Suwayda between Druze militias and Bedouin tribal fighters, despite a declared ceasefire. An estimated 50,000–70,000 fighters from the Arab Tribal Army have mobilized against the Druze, triggering mass displacement, civilian casualties, and widespread destruction — including regime-affiliated groups burning Druze homes in Mazraa village. Bedouin commanders have rejected the ceasefire, and reinforcements from Idlib — a stronghold of HTS — are reportedly joining the assault. Amid this chaos, HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani has fled Damascus.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched a fiery rebuke against the U.S. and EU, accusing Washington of warmongering and using diplomacy as a facade for conflict. He slammed the EU’s pressure tactics, warning of dire consequences if snapback sanctions are imposed. Araghchi reminded that it was the U.S. that abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal and insists any new negotiations must include guarantees against future strikes, accountability for recent conflicts, and fairness-especially regarding Israel’s nuclear arsenal and regional stability.

An Israeli airstrike on the Holy Family Church compound in Gaza has killed three civilians and injured several others, including children and a parish priest. The Latin Patriarchate called it a "morally unjustified tragedy" as the church sheltered women, children, and the elderly. France, Italy, and the Vatican condemned the attack, demanding accountability. Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow and urged a ceasefire. Israel has apologized and launched an investigation, stating religious sites are not intentionally targeted despite growing criticism.
