The Israelis have blown up another convoy of gov't reinforcements bound for Suwayda, (burning vehicles but no dead/wounded can be seen in this vid)
However this airstrike has not dissuaded gov't forces already in & around Suwayda from continuing to fight and push ahead. Tonight the Syrian Army has been recorded targeting the last villages held by Al-Hijri's forces (the Suwayda Military Council & Men of Dignity militias) with rocket artillery:
'Red Band' fighters, HTS' elite shock troops who specialized in night combat and were given the best night-vision equipment they got their hands on back during the civil war proper vs. Assad, also already made it to Suwayda yesterday. So it looks like the SA/GSS might well attempt a night assault on the remaining Hijrist Druze holdouts.
Suwayda itself seems to have calmed down earlier in the day, since Hijri's men were driven out into the above rural villages in spite of the Israeli airstrikes. Not too much damage was done to the city in the recent fighting it seems.
What was said about the Suwayda streets can't be said about its central hospital though, that place is a charnel house. Gov't troops found a shit ton of dead people upon retaking it from the Druze (who, in turn, recaptured it from the SA/GSS forces in yesterday's fighting).
The Druze reportedly threw many gov't fighters' corpses out of the hospital or burnt them, like this unfortunate fellow from Homs.
Outside of but directly related to Syria, some of Lebanon's Druze wanted to jump in the fight but were held back by the Lebanese Army, for now. Also Walid Jumblatt, the head honcho of the Lebanese Druze, is against intervention and claims that Israel's just using Al-Hijri so they can pretend to be 'protecting vulnerable minority communities' while stirring shit up in Syria.
