DAMASCUS, SYRIA — May 2, 2025
In a firestorm unseen since the earliest days of the war, Syria has plunged into chaos as the Zionist entity unleashed wave after wave of airstrikes while Druze militias, backed by Tel Aviv, escalated their violent campaign across the southern countryside. Over 48 hours, the skies over Damascus, Daraa, and Sweida turned black with smoke as Israeli jets screamed overhead, targeting everything from air defense systems to government compounds.

What began as outrage over a vile recording—purportedly of a Druze cleric hurling slurs at the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ—has erupted into a full-scale national crisis. The insult ignited protests, then gunfire. Within hours, Syria was plunged into chaos as Israeli warplanes swarmed the skies, Druze militias seized towns, and the Zionist entity intervened openly to back its proxies under the guise of “protection.”
The tipping point came when the recording went viral, sparking mass mobilizations across Suweida and Damascus. In Sunni-majority districts and tribal areas, enraged locals blocked roads and raised black banners in condemnation. “It wasn’t just a curse—it was a declaration of war on every Muslim,” one demonstrator in Daraa shouted.
The barrage began on April 30 with an Israeli drone strike on Syrian government positions in Sahnaya, southwest of Damascus. As Syrian forces attempted to fortify their presence along the Damascus-Suweida road, Zionist warplanes responded with precision bombings, killing and wounding several Syrian personnel. By midday, clashes broke out on the streets as Druze militias launched coordinated ambushes, supported by Israeli aerial cover.
Fierce firefights erupted between government security forces and Druze separatists, notably near the presidential complex at Mount Qasioun, which was nearly struck by an Israeli missile just 400 meters away. “This was not a message—it was a declaration of war,” one Syrian official told local outlets. The Zionist regime claimed it was defending Syria’s Druze population, but residents and observers alike saw through the smokescreen. “Their ‘defense’ looks like our destruction,” a wounded officer muttered from a Damascus hospital bed.
On the ground, chaos reigned. Convoys of Druze fighters were ambushed along the Damascus-Suweida highway by Arab tribes loyal to the government. In at least one instance, a captured Syrian officer was paraded by separatists. Meanwhile, fierce internal tensions boiled over as rival Druze leaders clashed: Sheikh Laith Al-Balous, a pro-unity figure aligned with President Al-Sharaa, narrowly survived an assassination attempt orchestrated by hardliners aligned with Israel’s spiritual envoy, Muwafaq Tarif.
By May 1st, Israeli involvement grew bolder. Surveillance drones and helicopters were spotted over Suweida. Israeli Druze reservists crossed into Syria to reinforce the separatists, while violent mobs in northern Israel lynched a Palestinian Arab and demanded further intervention. The Zionist military admitted to providing air support, framing it as a “humanitarian” necessity. But their bombs spoke otherwise. One Israeli strike hit near the palace of Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, another obliterated anti-air positions in Latakia, and a third wiped out a government outpost in Izraa, Daraa countryside.
Meanwhile, Turkey and Russia began asserting presence in the same skies. Turkish jets were seen maneuvering over Damascus, prompting brief Israeli withdrawals. Reports of GPS jamming and hostile encounters between Turkish and Zionist aircraft signaled that the conflict risked spilling beyond Syria’s borders.
The diplomatic fallout intensified. Iran condemned the aggression in unequivocal terms. Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt flew to Damascus in a desperate bid to mediate, warning against Israeli manipulation of sectarian divisions. But on the streets, the people were past negotiation. Syrian hospitals, overwhelmed by the wounded, sent urgent calls for blood. Explosions thundered across Damascus as Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Mazzeh ran out of critical supplies.
As of this writing, more than 40 confirmed Israeli airstrikes have struck Syrian territory. Multiple Druze villages, caught between loyalty and treachery, now lie in smoldering ruin. Government forces have begun retaliatory strikes, and resistance is growing fiercer by the hour.
But amidst the fire and betrayal, a message is spreading: Syria refuses to kneel. “We are tired of foreign boots, foreign bombs, and foreign lies,” a fighter near Qudsaya said. “Let them come. They will leave in pieces.”
