In the southern Syrian city of Sweida, the Druze community is facing the tragic aftermath of brutal violent clashes. The streets are reportedly filled with bloodied bodies of civilians, and many homes have been completely looted. Survivors are frantically searching for their loved ones amid the devastation.
Eyewitnesses describe harrowing scenes, including elderly individuals shot in their own homes and bodies left lying in the streets. The violence has significantly escalated sectarian tensions and marks the worst unrest in the region since March. The confrontations involved several groups:

Humanitarian agencies are reporting mass displacement from the affected region and are urgently calling for increased aid to assist those impacted by the violence.
