Druze Residents of As-Suwayda Rally in Support of Israel Amid Syrian Airstrikes

The Druze community in As-Suwayda, southern Syria, has publicly expressed support for Israel following recent Israeli Air Force strikes on military bases in northern Syria. Remembering Israel's past protection against the Islamist regime in Damascus, senior Druze leaders organized a protest convoy through the streets of As-Suwayda. The convoy featured Druze and Israeli flags alongside images of the Druze community leader in As-Suwayda, Hakem al-Hijri, signaling clear alignment with Israel amid ongoing tensions with the Syrian government. This demonstration highlights the Druze community's stance amid the complex regional conflict and their gratitude toward Israel's previous assistance.
