Agriculture against Drusen in Suweida: over 100 deaths in bloody wave of violence!

in Suwayda, a region in southwestern Syria, a storm is really brewed. On July 15, 2025, according to reports from audio-online , there was a dangerous escalation of violence, especially against the druses that live in this area. Militant Sunni groups are excessive of brutality, while the Drusen and their allies have the impression that the Syrian government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa has lost control of the region and targeted the Drusen.

In the past few days, the fighting between the Druze and the state security forces has become increasingly violent, and the number of victims is rapidly increasing. Report by Tagesschau According to the residents of the Syrian army, the residents of the Syrian army accuse arbitrary executions. Almost 100 soldiers of the Syrian army are among the killed, and the military conflicts do not seem to end. To date, the Syrian government group has tried to regain its control over the province of Suwayda, which has been dominated by various militias for seven months now.

The role of Israel

not to be underestimated is the role of Israel in this conflict. As ZDF today, the Israeli army observes the developments carefully and has repeatedly carried out air strikes on Syrian military vehicles that moved towards Syria. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already telephoned with the leader of the Drusian Community in Israel, Sheikh Muwafak Tariff, and emphasizes that there should be consequences.

The military activities of Israel aim to destroy rockets and arms camps to prevent them from getting into the hands of the new Syrian leadership. With increasing nervousness, the tensions between Bedouins and Drusen in the region intensified, especially after a robbery on Drusian young people, who ultimately unleashed violence. This Situation has also led to the kidnapping of several relatives of Bedouin tribes, which also fueled the conflicts.

a agitated country

The Druze, whose belief is evident from Islam, which is evident from Islam, are in the crosshair of the arguments. Extremists see them as a heretic and accuse them of supporting the Assad regime. Since the fall of Assad in December 2024, the situation in Syria has deteriorated dramatically. Again and again there are outbreaks of violence with several hundred deaths within a very short time. In March 2025 alone, around 1,500 people were killed in violent conflicts, as previous reports show.

With a huge outbreak of emotions, the druses in Israel react to the horrible pictures of mutilated corpses and the humiliations of their fellow believers in Syria. These scenes have already led to protests in the Drusian communities in Israel. The situation remains tense and hope for peace is disappearing.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the Syrian government is able to stabilize the region while the pressure is maintained from different sides, including the United States and Israel. The future of the Drusen in Suwayda and beyond is uncertain in these uncertain times.
