Syrian Druze Intruders On Run As IDF Scrambles To Locate Infiltrators After Border Rioting
Dozens of Israeli Druze who crossed into Syria amid escalating violence have been returned overnight by the IDF, as clashes between Syrian government forces and Druze factions continue in Sweida. The Israeli military also returned several Syrian Druze who had entered Israel in a rare exchange across a tense border. Amid the unrest, Israel launched an unusual airstrike on Syria's Defence Ministry in Damascus, saying its actions aim to support the Druze minority. The situation has reignited calls among Druze on both sides of the border for solidarity, while also spotlighting internal divisions within Syria's Druze community over loyalty to the regime. Israel, which annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, has increased its military presence along the border.#Druze #IsraelSyria #SweidaClashes #GolanHeights #IDF #MiddleEastTensions #DruzeCommunity #DamascusStrike #IsraelAirstrike #SyriaNews Read More

An AFP correspondent witnessed a strike on a military truck at Sweida's western entrance, where government forces had gathered before deploying into the city.
