Residents of the Druze city of Al-Suwayda in southern Syria held a solidarity rally with Israel on Wednesday, commemorating the events of the October 7th massacre. The demonstration featured Israeli flags and flags of the Druze community, alongside a photograph of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to local sources, dozens of residents gathered in the city square to remember the Israeli victims of the massacre, who were killed by Hamas and other Palestinian terror organizations three years ago. During the rally, Druze residents displayed signs with photos of Druze victims of a massacre carried out by Islamist forces in the summer of 2025. Photographs of the community leader in Al-Suwayda, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were also displayed. This gesture was reportedly in response to aid Israel provided to the Druze at that time, including airstrikes against Islamist forces associated with the government of Ahmad al-Shar'a. One sign featuring Netanyahu read, "The Druze in Bashan support you." A photograph of the spiritual leader of the Druze in Israel, Muwafaq Tarif, was also displayed.
