Syria's Islamist Govt Accused Of Targeting Minorities | Sectarian Violence Returns To Damascus
Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage.
On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes.
At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead.
The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March.

Violence broke out in the southern Damascus suburb of Jaramana after a controversial audio clip allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad went viral. The clip, falsely attributed to Druze cleric Marwan Kiwan, triggered deadly clashes between Druze gunmen and government forces. Kiwan denied the message, and Syria’s Interior Ministry confirmed he wasn’t responsible. At least 10 people were killed, with activist groups reporting higher tolls. As religious leaders call for calm and Israel monitors the situation, tensions remain high in one of Syria's most volatile suburbs.

A ballistic missile launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen triggered air raid sirens across northern Israel, including in Haifa. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the missile mid-air, but falling debris damaged the roof of a kindergarten at Kibbutz Mishmar Ha’emek. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This marks an escalation in long-range threats from Yemen. In response, Israel struck a target near Damascus as tensions heighten. Israeli leaders warned against any hostile movements south of Damascus or threats to the Druze community amid regional instability.

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

During his visit to Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking the first such meeting in 25 years. Trump urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, expel foreign militants, and take control of ISIS camps run by Kurdish forces. In return, Trump announced the lifting of crippling U.S. sanctions, offering Syria a chance at economic recovery. The Syrian foreign ministry hailed the meeting as "historic," though the normalization with Israel was not addressed. Crowds in Damascus celebrated the U.S. decision, though the future remains uncertain.

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has threatened further strikes on Lebanon unless Hezbollah disarms, following recent airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The IDF claims it targeted an Iran-backed Hezbollah drone unit, though Hezbollah denies this. Lebanon’s President Aoun condemned the attack as a breach of international law, accusing Israel of endangering civilians to make a political statement. With tensions high and ceasefire lines crossed repeatedly, Lebanon's leaders demand international action to stop what they call systematic Israeli aggression.

Houthi REVENGE Begins: Yemen has launched a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, marking a major escalation in regional tensions. The strike, in response to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, disrupted air traffic and sent thousands into shelters. Yemeni Armed Forces vowed continued support for Gaza and Lebanon, stating attacks will persist until Israel ends its war on Gaza. While Israel claims the missile was intercepted, sirens rang across central Israel and occupied territories. This marks Yemen’s first official missile strike on Israeli infrastructure from afar.

Hezbollah’s Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump: unless he frees himself from Israel’s control, any hope for success in the Middle East is doomed. Resistance is not just a choice — it’s the only path to dignity, freedom, and national survival. With decades of struggle behind them, Hezbollah and its allies vow no surrender, only victory or martyrdom. Watch as they lay bare the truth about U.S. involvement, Israeli occupation, and the unbreakable spirit of Lebanon’s resistance. This is a message Washington and Tel Aviv cannot ignore.
