💨 Abstract

Hundreds protested in Syria's Sweida, demanding self-determination for the Druze minority, the largest such demonstration since recent deadly clashes. Protesters waved Israeli flags, thanking Israel for their intervention during mid-July conflicts between Druze militias, tribal groups, and government forces. The protests occurred amid Syria's ongoing ethnic and religious divisions following the collapse of Assad family rule. Proponents seek justice for atrocities and recognition of Druze autonomy.
