Israel strikes Syrian forces as Damascus declares ceasefire in Druze city
by Naharnet Newsdesk 15 July 2025, 11:12 Israel's military said it was striking military vehicles belonging to government forces in the Sweida area of southern Syria, after Syrian state media reported a new strike on the Druze-majority city. "A short while ago, the (Israeli army) began striking military vehicles belonging to Syrian regime forces in the area of Sweida in southern Syria," a military statement said, shortly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said they had ordered the army to "immediately strike regime forces and weaponry that were brought into the Sweida region in the Druze mountains in Syria in order to carry out operations against the Druze." Syria's defense minister meanwhile declared a ceasefire in Sweida. Fighting erupted earlier in the day as troops advanced into the southern city, which had been under the control of various Druze factions. The escalation came after contradictory statements from Druze religious leaders, most of whom urged fighters to lay down their arms. "To all units operating within the city of Sweida, we declare a complete ceasefire after an agreement with the city's notables and dignitaries," Syrian Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra posted on X. "We will respond only to sources of fire and deal with any targeting by outlaw groups," he added. An AFP correspondent at the city's edge reported that gunfire had since subsided. Earlier, the correspondent described intense clashes as government forces fought their way in. "We will begin handing over neighborhoods in Sweida city to the Internal Security Forces as soon as the combing operations are completed," Abu Qasra said. Authorities had initially announced a curfew in the city to contain the unrest. Syrian state-run news agency SANA later reported Israeli air strikes on Sweida as government forces were advancing. Israeli Defense Minister Katz had warned Damascus against targeting the Druze on Monday. The violence began on Sunday when Bedouin gunmen abducted a Druze vegetable vendor on the highway to Damascus, prompting retaliatory kidnappings. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said members of Bedouin tribes, who are Sunni Muslims, had sided with security forces during earlier confrontations with the Druze. It reported 102 people killed in the fighting -- 61 Druze, including four civilians, 18 Bedouin fighters, 16 security personnel, and seven unidentified people in military uniforms.

Earlier today, our correspondent in South Lebanon reported that an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a Pick-up vehicle before it detonated in the border village of Kfar Kila, while another drone dropped a bomb on the Al-Dhahira village. Al Mayadeen's correspondent also revealed that an Israeli infantry force invaded the southern border and detonated a single room built 800 meters into Lebanese territory. On Thursday, one person was martyred and two others were wounded after an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle in the town of al-Mansouri, in the Tyre District, South Lebanon, on Thursday, according to a statement by the country's Ministry of Health. An Israeli drone also struck commercial shops in Yuhmur al-Shaqif, a southern town in Lebanon's Nabatieh District, firing two missiles at the area. This comes as Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire, persisting in their attacks by targeting villages and towns in South Lebanon and the Bekaa region, as well as the Southern Suburb of Beirut, while still occupying five strategic points in the south.
