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.

Hamas’ military wing spokesperson, Abu Obeida, has re-emerged after four months of silence with a fiery televised address. Speaking for the first time since Israel renewed its military offensive in Gaza in March, Obeida condemned the Arab world's silence over the suffering in Gaza and accused them of betraying the Palestinian cause. His harsh words targeted not just Israel, but the Arab regimes he labelled as complicit.
Obeida also outlined Hamas' evolving battle strategy, revealing counter-operations to Israel’s “Gideon’s Chariots.” The speech, filled with warnings and a tone of defiance, has stunned many, especially coming amid rising tensions between Israel and Syria. His appearance comes as a symbolic message — Hamas is neither broken nor backing down. Watch the full speech to understand what’s next in this escalating conflict.

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?

The Syrian presidency has announced it's assembling a special taskforce to try to stop nearly a week of sectarian clashes in the southern Druze city of Sweida. Sky News
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.

Mass protests erupted in Damascus as Syrian citizens gathered outside parliament, chanting “Stop killing our people” in a show of defiance against Israeli airstrikes and escalating sectarian violence.
The demonstration follows deadly Israeli strikes on the Syrian Army General Staff headquarters in Damascus, which Israel claims were a response to the government's failure to protect the Druze minority in Sweida. Protesters are calling for an end to both foreign intervention and internal bloodshed, demanding peace and accountability.
This comes as nearly 250 people have reportedly died in clashes between Syrian government forces, Islamist fighters, and Druze militias in recent days.

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.

Russia and Iran have strongly condemned Israel’s latest airstrikes on Syrian territory, calling them illegal and destabilizing. Moscow blasted the strikes as a “gross violation” of Syria’s sovereignty, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi labeled Israel a “rabid regime” engaging in “unhinged aggression.” Israel confirmed it struck near the Syrian army HQ in Damascus, citing actions against Druze civilians. As regional tensions escalate, both Russia and Iran demand an end to foreign interventions and urge unity within Syria.

IDF Bombs Hezbollah targets deep inside Lebanon in a high-risk, precision airstrike that rocked the Bekaa Valley. The daring raid targeted Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force camps, with explosions lighting up the night sky and shaking the region. This marks a major escalation as IDF bombs Hezbollah strongholds in deep-Lebanon territory, far beyond previous red lines. The Israeli military confirmed that the operation was aimed at dismantling Hezbollah’s command centers and advanced weapons depots.

Explosions have rocked the Israeli port city of Eilat, following a sudden missile and drone attack allegedly launched by Iran-backed Houthi fighters from Yemen.

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.
