2024 Syrian opposition offensives - The first Syrian rebel offensive against Government forces since March 2020

[3-2-1836]

(Apparently you can tell Bedouins apart from the Druze based on their hair & beard styles, as Bedouins tend to favor longer & wilder hair than Druze.)

This is Pol-Pot level of genocide at this point.

I love how a decade or two ago, all we would know about this would be delivered by some CNN faggot 5 mins from their air conditioned hotel, hundreds of miles away from any actual fighting.

Today, anyone with a dead wish, a Twitter account and a PRESS jacket goes out and reports straight from the frontline.

I unironically trust the later moreso than the former.

Not that twitterfags & YTwhores don't have their inherent biases, but I trust these randos willing to risk their lives just to get some footage of tracer fire for lulz and/or clicks than I do journoroaches with pre-set scripts, political biases and layers of editorial management staff to make sure the reporting fits THE MESSAGE

not only only that, but the average "Gonzo" is at least upfront with their biases and its apparent to everyone vs. trying to be the independent arbiters of truth the agenda pushers at CNN do.

I forgot to mention that Bedouins are the regional Gypsy equivalent. Incestuous criminal scum. About 90% of the dogs in animal shelters are survivors of their abuse, and my country needs to pay welfare for their physically defective incest children.

man there’s something genuinely wrong with Syrians or all Levant people, two days ago i was feeling sympathetic for the druzes and now they’re straight up genociding bedouin tribes. there’s something cursed in that land. I’m just gonna stop feeling sorry for minorities there cause they all pull the same shit against each other.

Nothing cursed about the land except the inhabitants. The average IQ in Syria is around 75. For reference the average black American has a iq around 85. Mix in a religion crafted by a pedo desert warlord, and the outcomes we are seeing aren't all that shocking. You literally need some tinhorn dictator like Assad or Saddam to keep these people on a short leash. However that doesn't always work either.

Speaking of gov't forces. Despite what I have just said and linked, it's now turned out to be true that not only was Al-Hijri a big enough retard to ask for them to come back after getting Israel to expel them in the first place, but now the Israelis themselves are apparently for this solution as well, saying they'll 'let' the gov't army do gov't things within the official Syrian borders - most gracious. Can't imagine the IAF is afraid of the Bedouins considering they have no AA capabilities and drive around in huge convoys of Toyotas (piss easy target for Israeli planes & drones) so there's probably been pressure from Trump forcing this sudden change in course. Naturally, the Druze troops on the ground are not taking this development well.

Was it Trump, or did the Israelis decide it was a waste of bombs, and wear on airframes to save a horde of retard sandniggers from a larger horde of retard sandniggers?

I think incest/inbreeding is a general sandnigger problem. The Islamic world blows Alabama out of the water as far as consanguineous relations go and ironically the Arab countries aren't even the worst about it for the most part IIRC, Pakistan (who combine the literal shittiness of jeets with the worst problems of Muslims) has either all or almost all of them beat.



My understanding is that Bedouin stereotype is closer to something like Mideastern rednecks, if the redneck has also been drugged & hit on the head with a brick a couple of times. Loud, dumb, very tribal (clearly, and this also extends to the cousinfucking thing), deeply conservative/traditional, considered barbaric hicks & brutes by outsiders, possessed of a niggerish sense of 'honor' ('muhfugga disrespekt me? Better kill him, his whole family too, and start a generational blood feud with his clan'), but stubborn & vicious fighters at least. As with most of their fellow jeets, gypsies tend to be cowardly little shits when faced with an actual threat, and I have to hand this much to the Bedouins - niggas who will hurl themselves in human wave attacks against an entrenched enemy with air support when they themselves have no armor or AA defenses, and eventually actually win, are many things but I cannot fairly call them cowards.

(Ironically, IIRC the Druze stereotype is also that they're great fighters. Maybe that's true of Israeli & Lebanese Druze, but clearly Syrian Druze must be made of different, much weaker stuff if the battles of the last few days are any indicator.)

Was it Trump, or did the Israelis decide it was a waste of bombs, and wear on airframes to save a horde of retard sandniggers from a larger horde of retard sandniggers?

It's possible that the Israeli leadership may, behind closed doors, have determined that it's not worth trying to keep Al-Hijri afloat anymore. Besides the glaring weakness of his army, he really kicked a hornet's nest when he started trying to purge Suwayda of Bedouins, there are a lot of Bedouin clans all over the Middle East and the ones next to Syria in Jordan (who, again, are among the core of the Hashemite monarchy's supporters - they saved the current king's dad from being overthrown by Palestinians in Black September - so they're not so easily controlled when passions are burning this badly) have reportedly gathered to issue a collective threat that if Israel were to hypothetically invade southern Syria to back Al-Hijri up, they'll hypothetically swarm in there themselves to assist their kin.

Amman - July 19, 2025

“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful God Almighty says: "And prepare against them whatever you are able of power" [Al-Anfal: 60] In light of the recent meeting held between the Council of Jordanian Tribes, His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and his counterpart from the Syrian Arab Republic, and in the presence of the US government envoy, Mr. Barak, we, the Council of Jordanian Tribes, affirm the following: We deeply understand the situation and appreciate the sensitivity of the situation during the current situation of the Syrian army and the rebels. We are following with concern. 2. Based on the calls raised at the meeting to not interfere in Syria's internal affairs, we affirm our commitment to the unity of Syrian territory and our rejection of any internal strife or foreign interference that threatens the social fabric or leads to further bloodshed. 3. However, we, the Council of Jordanian Tribes, clearly and explicitly warn that any direct military intervention by the Zionist entity in the territories of the the Syrians, and the Khasir in the south, will be met with immediate action from the sons of the Adnan tribes, in defense of the nation's dignity, loyalty to the Arab and Islamic covenant, and rejection of any infringement on Arab geographic sovereignty and decision-making. 4. How do you frame the situation and formulate a deed before you speak? Rather, it is strongly present, and when the battle intensifies, you will know. 5. We call on all international and regional parties to respect the will of the people and not to ignite a fire that will not escape its flames. For if the fire ignites in Sweida, it will not stop at Jabal al-Arab and will have repercussions in the near and long term. Finally, we affirm that the Adnan tribes were, and will remain, a safety valve for Arab national security, but they refuse to be silent spectators when the dignity of our brothers is violated or our lady is attacked. And God is behind the intention.”

Jordanian Tribal Council

On top of that, Al-Hijri has managed to piss the Bedouins as a collective off so hard that even former SAA-allied Bedouin tribes have now thrown in with the war effort against him (even though he's a former Assad supporter himself, and his militia is full of ex-SAA Druze).

Fighting AJ's army and even the Syrian Bedouins is one thing. Potentially having to deal with every Bedouin in the Middle East swarming into Syria to get at the IDF, that's quite a different form of cluster headache. If he put any thought into this scheme besides 'distract from muh trial', it's starting to look as though Bibi has miscalculated both the fighting ability of the Syrian Druze & just how many sandniggers his proxy would rile up in 24-48h. And since the war in Gaza isn't over yet, he & the IDF general staff may have just decided that on second thought, you know what, the conquest of the rest of Southern Syria against such odds isn't actually a fight they need to be picking right now.

Anyway, fighting seems to have slowed down this afternoon. The Bedouins pushed further into Suwayda City and have overrun at least one Druze field HQ inside the city, some sources even claim they basically hold the whole place now and have chased Al-Hijri's men out to the eastern villages altogether, but now the Syrian Interior Ministry is saying that their security forces have moved into Suwayda City & pulled the tribesmen out while the stream of combat clips from earlier today has dried up. This doesn't seem terribly likely to me considering that Syrian police weren't even in the city this morning & that as many as 50,000 Bedouin tribal fighters are reported to have gone there. (Archive)

A more likely scenario is that the tribesmen are leaving Suwayda City to the gov't (because they've successfully routed the Druze militia from within the city limits and now there isn't anything left for them to do there except harass random civilians), but are still going to stick around & fight in the Suwayda countryside, certainly in the eastern villages where Al-Hijri is holed up again. This seems to be what the supreme tribal council of the Syrian Bedouins has been saying, at least. Also after all the bloodshed & mutual atrocities, the tribal warriors (seems like it's too big a stretch to call them 'soldiers' considering not just their lack of uniforms & official state-military/police affiliation but also any discipline) on the ground are pretty much saying they won't stop until they've Gaddafi'd Al-Hijri's ass.

Edit: Speaking of Assad & the SAA, this 4-second clip may be the first time anyone's seen him publicly in Moscow since his defeat.

And some video proof of Bedouins leaving Suwayda. Well, they are departing all right...but only after looting the shit out of the Druze first, even hauling away geese & plants.

SOHR doesn't mention anything about Druze killing more than a few civilians. The murders by HTS and the Bedouin greatly outnumber it. Where are y'all even getting the pro-jihadi takes?

I've been following the r/syriancivilwar subreddit, which draws from a lot more sources (often the Telegram/other social media of the fighters on the ground), usually almost as soon as they're posted. SOHR was never terribly reliable even during the days of the civil war proper; it's a dude in Britain reporting what he hears from his sources in Syria & has long had a very pro-Kurdish/Kurdish-aligned rebel (ex. Jaish al-Thuwar)/Western, which is to say both anti-Assad and anti-Sharaa, lean on account of his State Department & EU funding. One of the latest things I've read from SOHR was that the Druze launched a heckin epic counteroffensive that swept the tribes from all of Suwayda City around noon yesterday, when there was still new footage coming out showing the Bedouin tribesmen screwing around in front of captured Druze positions & burning Druze flags deep inside Suwayda.

Anyway, morning news roundup: so far it's been mostly just both sides posturing at one another, but things could still get hairy in the afternoon.

Tribesman reasserts his loyalty to AJ and declares that he'd even let AJ marry his daughter, but at the same time warns that there are still many thousands of them around and that if Al-Hijri & the Druze blow up the newest ceasefire, not even AJ will be able to hold him & his fellow Bedouins back.

The Druze, for their part, are already declaring victory (again). Al-Hijri has refused to meet with government delegations or allow Syrian aid groups to bring humanitarian aid into Suwayda, instead he demands international aid only (some form of GHF 2.0 most likely, on account of him being an Israeli pawn). (Hilariously, Suwayda's name is mistranslated as 'Sweden' in the second link.) Keep in mind that Suwayda is much less self-sufficient than the Kurdish-controlled northeast, it's mostly desert/mountains with no significant natural resource reserves, and has been dependent on Damascus for electricity & water even in Assad's time.

Corroborating the above refusal of aid, the Syrian ministers for health & social affairs (who can speak English) were stuck outside Suwayda City today because Al-Hijri wouldn't let them in, having reoccupied the place after the tribesmen left.

Syrian GSS have just been chased out of a village called Majdal by Druze snipers & a counterattack, injuring several policemen. The tribes have since made good on their own threats and are now resuming fighting in the Suwaydan countryside. So yeah, that latest ceasefire lasted about 10 hours.

Another warcrime from yesterday, only discovered today: in answer to the Druze burning some of their Bedouin hostages, the Bedouins have in turn burnt an old Druze man (possibly a religious elder by the look of his clothes from his photo) to death in Suwayda City.

Spoiler: NSFL - Elderly Druze found tied to a chair & burnt to death

Finally, marking the first time any mainstream news outlet tried to cover the events in Suwayda in-depth and with on the ground reporting, Sky News had a journo embed with the Bedouins and record some street battles in Suwayda City yesterday, including a Bedouin ambush of Druze fighters (no bodies are shown, though). They were the source of that looting clip I posted yesterday, and also recorded (among other things) Bedouins threatening to kill another old Druze guy they found after a battle but letting him go out of fear of looking like feral (sand)niggers on international TV, which may be the first useful thing I've seen journoniggers do in a very long time.

Was it Trump, or did the Israelis decide it was a waste of bombs, and wear on airframes to save a horde of retard sandniggers from a larger horde of retard sandniggers?

It's possible they took a closer look at who they were supporting, realised that they've stuck their dick in a wasp's nest, and have decided to withdraw for the time being.

Some of the scenes from this afternoon...

Angry Bedouin tribals breaching one of the GSS checkpoints so they can go fight the Druze some more.

Bedouins under fire from a Druze sniper on a water tower somewhere in the Suwaydan countryside.

Tribesmen capture a Druze child soldier (looks to be 11-13 years old, and this doesn't seem to be the same tower as above - the tower stairs aren't exposed) who had been sniping at them from a tower with a rifle his dad gave him. They assure him that they won't harm him, I can only hope this is one of the more honorable tribes & that they will keep their word rather than a tribe whose attitude towards kids is more like the Nour al-Din Zenki Movement's.

More Druze fighters (grown men this time) captured and stepped on by Bedouins.

Bedouin fighter kicks & steps on a dead Druze fighter.

Spoiler: NSFW, obviously

A planned hostage exchange earlier today fell through along with the ceasefire, and the Bedouins were spotted kidnapping Druze women & girls to use as bargaining chips for (and if there is) the next one by Al-Araby, a Qatari TV network. This is a fucking nightmare to put it bluntly, can only hope the Druze haven't executed more of their own hostages or this might be the last anyone's seen of these women; some of the comments suggest that the chief Bedouin hostage-taker in this video was the same guy beheading Druze corpses the other day.

Translation from the comments:

Wow. Translation:

Druze fighters beating up a Bedouin POW and forcing him to denounce AJ while praising Al-Hijri.

From yesterday's battles in Suwayda City rather than today's battles around the city: at one point the Druze captured a Bedouin fighter who had filmed himself threatening to shave Druze mustaches. Almost needless to say, they were not amused.

Yet another Bedouin pain train has formed up and is bound for Suwayda. If the Israelis don't bomb them soon, it's looking like Al-Hijri & the Druze will be in deep shit (again).

Israel probably wanted him to cause some drama and give them an excuse to "intervene", but then he went and acted like a total Congo nigger warlord and became too toxic too associate with.

Can't discount this possibility factoring into the non-Syrian actors' calculations as well. This is not 1979, clips like that of the Druze fighters threatening to murder their female & child Bedouin hostages if their men come any closer quickly circulated online & even reached TV news (it appears in one of the Sky News segments I linked previously), undermining Israeli & Druze claims of how the latter dindu nuffin; now instead of the narrative being a genocide of a wholesome 100 saintly minority that richly deserves Israeli/Western protection from the attacks of those devilish Bedouins, it's turning into one where at 'best' both sandnigger teams look just as bad as each other (and in that case, why should we squander resources & possibly lives protecting one over the other?). It'd be like if the Sabra & Shatila massacres had happened before Israel had even finished getting Saad Haddad set up in Marjayoun back in the day.

Also the Trump administration is reportedly increasingly put off by Bibi's actions, calls him a 'madman' and thinks he's fucking up Trump's plans for Syria. Trump himself cut off the glowies' Timber Sycamore program (arming the rebels) when he saw Nour al-Din Zenki fighters behead that autistic kid in 2016-17, so if he's seen the videos of the mutual atrocities, while I don't expect him to be all about helping the Bedouin side or to overtly denounce Israel anytime soon, I also doubt he'll be terribly impressed with any efforts to drag the US in on the side of the Druze or with the IDF doing more to aid Al-Hijri.

[Chuckwagon]

Well he's going against the moderate rebels now. I have no faith in the claims made by the Sunnis after all the massacres they did on the Coast. Druze are preferable to them imo.

Let me put it this way: not even a full week ago the Druze got what the Alawites never did and badly needed, direct and overwhelming support from a powerful ally (Israel in their case, should've been Russia in the Alawites' case) which was huge enough to drive back the Islamists crushing & massacring them. Their position, frankly, seemed very good at the time. They had an extremely sympathetic narrative ready to go as a vulnerable minority, a strong ally with massive influence in DC that could've and still is trying to further that narrative, and a disorganized enemy on the backfoot. The chances for Suwayda turning into an Israeli-backed Druze client state seemed higher than ever before, as did their chance of getting other countries to support such a move.

In 24 hours they managed to fuck all of that up so epically, drag their own names through the mud and make themselves look infinitely less sympathetic by going full treasonous retard sandnigger (literally filming themselves killing Bedouins & taking them hostage, threatening to ethnically cleanse all Arabs from Suwayda, waving the Israeli flag and celebrating Israel bombing Syria, etc.) that they gave their enemy (again, previously disorganized & demoralized) a good cause to rally around & mobilize in numbers they couldn't handle even with air support (stopping the ethnic cleansing of Suwayda's own Arab minority and freeing the hostages the Druze had themselves taken).

In 48 hours, despite being entrenched & backed by Israeli airpower they had once again lost their provincial capital (to light infantry with technicals at best no less, the Bedouins' only advantages over the Druze has been sheer numbers & rage/reckless ballsiness) and were reduced to begging for the same government they claim was genociding them; which did have a decent amount of video & photo evidence showing they'd committed atrocities against the Druze; and which they had just gotten their patron to bomb...to come back, so the horde of Bedouins they had enraged, who were pushing past Israeli airstrikes to kick their asses, didn't actually finish genociding them. The Bedouins had not even begun to mobilize when AJ was getting bombed by the Jews; now not only are all the Syrian Bedouins howling for Al-Hijri's blood, but he's gotten Bedouin tribes outside of Syria to take notice too. Even Trump, normally Israel's strongest soldier, is reluctant to support Israel's bombing campaign, much less any serious efforts to carve out a client Jabal al-Druze with Al-Hijri at its head now.

And now, 72 hours after all that, this turbo-sandnigger Al-Hijri STILL wants to break ceasefire & hostage exchange agreements as soon as he signs them, STILL wants to forcibly eject the Arabs from Suwayda, and STILL wants to fight the Bedouins who just assraped his army half to death. Said army also cannot stop filming themselves beating up and insulting Bedouin prisoners & threatening or actually killing hostages even though they obviously have the weaker hand and a hell of a lot more to lose. The Syrian Civil War has been one lengthy clusterfuck of evil and stupid bastards trying to outnigger each other, and yet I think it is no exaggeration to suggest that like a supreme fuckwit appearing in December to speedrun to a victory in the Lolcow of the Year competition, Al-Hijri is trying his damndest to wrest the crown of 'most evil and retarded sandnigger in Syria' from all older, more established opponents here in the war's aftermath.

Tl;dr the Druze could've won a complete & utter victory back on Wednesday, all Al-Hijri had to do was not have a nigger moment and also keep his men from doing the same. He & the Druze couldn't resist that temptation and now here we are, with said Druze having thrown that victory away & even Israel forced to agree to let the same people they were bombing a few days ago to return to Suwayda so that their proxy didn't end up in the Syrian version of the 'death of Gaddafi' videos.

 

[Chuckwagon]

Weekend's over, it seems like the Bedouins & Druze were finally able to get a successful hostage exchange done after all the previous attempts ended in disaster. The prisoners were reportedly exchanged in the suburb of Walgha, which the Bedouins & Druze had been repeatedly fighting over until the former overran it completely on their way into Suwayda City. However, as the Druze have burnt down a lot of Bedouin civvies' homes and refuse to let them return, that these Bedouins still need to leave the province in the end means Al-Hijri is getting at least a partial success in his ethnic cleansing plans (until & unless he loses Israeli backing at least, that's how displaced Lebanese Shiites were able to return to formerly Israeli-held South Lebanon back in 2000).

Photos of Bedouin civilians leaving Suwayda for neighboring Daraa.

Spoiler: Bedouins leaving in buses & cars

Released Bedouins have begun telling their stories of captivity under the Druze. Tl;dw it's every bit as bad as you could expect from sandnigger barbarians, a little girl was beaten half to death & her mother fully to death by the Druze while her toddler (2 year old) brother was beheaded, and the Druze still won't give the baby's body back to the family. Another Bedouin woman was also pummeled & had her house burned down by Druze militiamen.

Spoiler: Injured Bedouin former hostages telling their stories

Speaking of sandnigger barbarism, back during the weekend when they were in control of much of Suwayda City, some Bedouins casually gunned down an old Druze man who was out buying bread and laughed about it. There's no apparent reason for this murder beyond them being Bedouins & him being Druze.

Spoiler: NSFW - Bedouins murder an old Druze guy who was just trying to buy bread

Last night, at least one cooler-headed Bedouin chief told his tribe to stand down & give AJ until noon today to get the hostages released, else he'll lead them into battle in Suwayda himself. Since this has now been achieved, hopefully the nigger synthesis + nigger moment vicious cycle Suwayda's been trapped in all last week will cool down at least a little bit from today onward.

It's unclear atm whether the gov't forces & tribes are still in control of the western & northern Suwaydan countryside or if they have pulled back beyond the provincial borders entirely, some conflicting reports in that regard. Personally I think it's the former (tantamount to nobody really decisively winning this round, with neither AJ nor AH fully controlling Suwayda like they want) since the latter would be a show of crippling weakness that'd really make AJ vulnerable to a coup by (even more) hardline Islamists. There's been some hypothesizing on r/syriancivilwar as to how the conflict's next steps might go, the most plausible guess IMO is that AJ will try to besiege the Druze in Suwayda City since Damascus controls Suwayda's water & electricity while Israel is still watching and will probably bomb him again if he attacks Al-Hijri head-on no matter what the US says.

SOHR is not to be taken seriously, it is one (BROWN) dude in the backroom of garment store in fucking Coventry, all he does is collate shitposts off of twatter/steal clips and pics off of telegroom/make shit up and publish "reports", it's pure agitprop.

For (((some reason))) legacy media considers him a "reliable source" which is why he gets cited all the damn time, but it's pure bullshit laundering, if you doubt this then look up the barrel bomb/white helmets fiasco circa 2013 (no I am not going to elaborate go look it up and form your own damn opinions) if you ever see anyone cite SOHR as the source for anything you can safely discount them as demoralized spiritual negroes.

Things have calmed down further last afternoon/evening & today, with this particular ceasefire mostly holding & little action beyond two failed Druze attempts to retake villages still under gov't/Bedouin control. I've seen no footage of the attack on Ariha (the gov't-controlled town), but there was a clip from the attack on Umm Zaytoun (tribal-controlled, was supposed to be the site of one of the failed hostage exchanges preceding the successful one in Walgha) showing Bedouins milling about 2-3 dead Druze fighters and a rare Ra'ad armored vehicle, an indigenously-produced Syrian MRAP of sorts made by HTS very late in the game and known to have been used against the SAA in their final offensive. Looks like this one was captured by the Druze when the IAF helped them push the SA/GSS back, and now obviously recaptured by these Bedouins who'll likely either give it to their chief as a gift or return it to AJ's forces.

After that battle, the Bedouins filmed themselves doing the Islamic call to prayer in Umm Zaytoun to prove that they still control the village.

Laith al-Balous gives another statement about the recent events. Looks like Al-Hijri outplayed him sometime between the IAF strikes & the Bedouin invasion, got a coup going in his militia to oust him which has also resulted in the deaths of many of his friends & lieutenants (at least one I know got very visibly purged, posted about it a while back). He also mentions that some of Al-Hijri's niggers desecrated his father's tomb, which yeah, there's a photo of that happening too.

This does mean Al-Hijri has pretty much unified the Syrian Druze under his banner, which suits Israel's purposes just fine in the short to medium term but which I believe is a very dangerous mistake & potentially a long-term disaster in the making. By falling in line behind Al-Hijri they've also inextricably tied their fortunes to Israel remaining top dog in the region & maintaining an interest in conquering Southern Syria (with the Druze serving as their lapdogs of course) forever, if either or both of those things ever change they'll be completely fucked. The Lebanese Christians who threw in with Israel and their pets the SLA got annihilated or driven out of the country for treason by Hezbollah after Israel gave up on the South Lebanon project, and they still can't return because the ones who didn't do that (still surviving as a much weakened minority in Lebanon today, and still trying to recover from the buckbreaking Hezbollah/Syria gave them) regard them as traitorous fucks.

Had all Lebanese Christians made the mistake of becoming Israel's house niggers & putting their eggs in the SLA basket, I don't doubt there wouldn't be any Lebanese Christians left in Lebanon at all today, since the SAA & Hezbollah would assuredly have exterminated/expelled them all and could credibly justify it by saying they were collectively traitors to Lebanon; the same is true of the Syrian Druze vis-a-vis Syria & its Sunni majority. So now the Druze cannot afford for Israel to ever take its eye off the Syrian ball for any reason ever, whatever chance they had of receiving even a small reprieve from the Islamists & Bedouins (as ironically has happened on the coast, where the Alawite massacres have stopped...for now) went up in smoke with Al-Balous' faction. Even the Lebanese Druze's top sheikh (Samy Abi Al-Mona, that neighboring country's equivalent to Al-Hijri) has called Al-Hijri a treasonous nigger & called for Syria to remain united now, while Israeli Druze elder Muwafaq Tarif seems to understand the danger too because interestingly he's also called on the Syrian Druze to not celebrate too hard or to alienate Muslims even further due to the risk of (further) backfire.

On a related note...AJ's government committee on the coastal Alawite massacres has released their findings. Might disappoint but it's not very surprising, the gov't investigated itself and found some wrongdoing to appease outside observers - the official death toll is 1,426 civilians (including 90 women) + 230 soldiers, 298 suspects in the massacre of Alawites were identified & a promise made to prosecute them (unknown if there are any bigshots in that list, I rather doubt it personally, maybe one or two like Abu Amsha to again appease Western patrons) - but denies that these killings were 'systemic' in nature. The most shocking thing to me is that 200,000 Sunni militiamen mobilized to go to the coast when Miqdad Fatiha & friends kicked their revolt off - no fucking wonder the ex-SAA guys lost in the end, even HTS at its peak strength was estimated to only have 20-60k fighters. It's also an insight into how much worse the battle for Suwayda could've gone and could still get; even the fully unified Druze army under Al-Hijri with Israeli air support still got overwhelmed by 'only' ~50k seething Bedouins, 4x that number would probably have emptied Suwayda of all Druze by now.

Turkey has made some statements, calling Al-Hijri an Israeli proxy (which is true, but considering HTS/SNA, this is a case of the pot calling the kettle a nigger) and threatening to directly intervene in case of any further effort to divide Syria. Looks like the Roach vs. Kike proxy conflict is still on, ironically AJ also hasn't signed a defense pact with Turkey yet due to pressure from Saudi Arabia so it seems he has to juggle being a proxy of both Erdogan & MBS.

Former Bedouin hostage delivers her testimony: her sickly husband was threatened & initially manhandled, at least one of her neighbors was shot & another neighbor's kid was beheaded by the Druze militia among other atrocities. (English translation & subtitles included)

To end on a less shitty note, have some more videos of people on both sides not being murderous cunts. On the Bedouin side, some Bedouin tribesmen evacuated Druze civilians to reunite with relatives in Damascus or to seek a hospital away from the front lines, and on the Druze side, a Druze civilian vocally disapproved of the ethnic cleansing of Bedouins from her side's part of Suwayda.

Spoiler: Have some wholesome clips for once

Edit: Also, we now have figures for the number of people displaced by the fighting in Suwayda - at least 93,000 as of this writing. The UN claims 128,000+. (Archive)
