Syrian regime sources and regional analysts are expressing significant concern over potential military preparations by Druze militias in southern Syria, possibly with Israeli support. These militias, initially disorganized fighters who coalesced during a Syrian army offensive in Sweida, have reportedly transformed into a substantial fighting force in the region over recent months.
According to these sources and foreign reports, Israel has been arming and training these Druze forces. Concurrently, Israel has reportedly intensified its aerial surveillance flights over Syrian territory, particularly focusing on Sweida and the southern areas near Druze communities. This increased activity follows an alleged massacre attempt against the Druze population, which Israel reportedly prevented.
