Once hopeful for a peaceful future after years of civil war, Syria's Druze community in Sweida now faces deep fear and disillusionment following a surge of sectarian violence. Recent clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin clans, with government forces intervening against the Druze, have left hundreds dead and shattered hopes for unity. Disturbing reports and videos have emerged of Druze civilians being targeted and killed, fueling a sense of betrayal by the new Damascus regime. Many Druze now refuse to disarm, seeing little chance for reconciliation, while other minority groups reconsider their trust in the government. The violence has cast a shadow over Syria's fragile postwar transition, with many in the Druze community feeling abandoned and threatened under the new leadership.
