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.

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

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. Is this protection-or a geopolitical gamble by Tel Aviv? #IsraelSyriaCeasefire #DruzeClashes #TelAvivStrike #DamascusBombing #SyriaUnrest #IDFStrikes #MiddleEastTensions #Netanyahu #GolanHeights #SweidaClashes #DruzeCommunity #AssadFallout #IsraelAirstrike #BRK #BedouinFighting #AhmadAlSharaa #GeopoliticalCrisis #USMiddleEastPolicy #AlJazeeraReports #SyriaNews ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.122~

Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across!

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites. This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.
