The primary telegram and some alts were banned in America. I’d be surprised if this were an op rather than a reposter, given that they’ve reposted accurate statements in the past

“Some of our favs may be implicated.”

After celebrating the overthrow of Assad and staying silent for months of pogroms against Syrian minorities (and attacks on other Palestinian factions), Hamas has bravely come out to condemn the “martyrdom” of the HTS militants bombed by Israel in Syria. Their position on Syria overall remains a major weak point and one to be dissected

spoiler“In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Press Release

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemns, in the strongest terms, the sinful Zionist aggression against the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, which has resulted in the martyrdom of dozens of army and security forces and innocent civilians.

The fascist aggression against Syria represents a flagrant violation of international law and a continuation of Zionist arrogance and attempts to impose hegemony and control over the peoples and countries of the region. This must be confronted with all force.

We affirm our full solidarity with our brothers in Syria and call on all Arab and Islamic countries and the free people of the world to unite and cooperate to repel this ongoing Zionist aggression and foil the terrorist occupation's schemes that target the will, freedom, and independence of the countries and peoples of the region.

Here’s some footage of the mass executions, church burning, and drone bombing that HTS have committed in the last 24 hours:

Anyways, these future “martyrs” are now marching on Al-Suwayda after failing to take it yesterday. Hoping for safety for anyone not fighting for Zionist interests, as of right now Israel is backing both horses

It’s definitely moving fast. SDF have allegedly begun to mobilize, as rumors of Israel ceasing bombing spread. Praying for civilians in Syria at this point

Israel is using this to destroy HTS armoured divisions, and bomb whatever they want.

Flashbacks to December. Israelis have an ideological predisposition to bomb hospitals

Fighting has progressed into the city center of suwayda. HTS fighters, not content with killing and capturing Druze rebels, have begun humiliating them by shaving their beards and mustaches, as well as other acts of sectarian/cultural violence. CW for blood and corpses of people who are definitely not wearing military fatigues

Context

spoilerThe reality on the ground is now much clearer: Julani initially unleashed Bedouin militants against the Druze community. The Druze, however, resisted fiercely and pushed them back. In retaliation, the Bedouins, joined by HTS forces, launched a coordinated attack. But the Druze fighters ambushed them, inflicting significant casualties and proving their resilience. Throughout this escalation, Julani remained silent. The CIA openly declared its support for him, and Israel, too, said nothing. In fact, when it became apparent that HTS and allied factions were advancing within 28–30 km of the occupied Golan border, Israel finally intervened not to protect the Druze, but to bomb convoys that had crossed Israeli-defined red lines. Let it be clear: Israel did not target HTS to shield the Druze, but to protect its own border interests.

So far, over 100 Druze civilians and fighters have been killed. Many others have been kidnapped, and there is growing fear that they could be executed. On the other side, more than 200 HTS terrorists have been eliminated in the clashes. The Sawfar–Aley road has now been shut down, and the Lebanese Army has deployed to contain the situation. But the conflict is far from over, it is expanding.

Israeli airstrikes have already hit over 30 targets, with the latest ones focused on the Daraa countryside near Ezra city. Israel is using the pretext of border security to bomb Syrian air defenses and military installations, not to defend any civilian population. Meanwhile, HTS and their cyber Takfiri cheerleaders remain too blind or complicit to understand how they’re being used as pawns in a much larger game. Fighting is now spilling into civilian zones, including around Suwayda National Hospital, where doctors and staff have issued urgent pleas for the hospital to be neutralized and kept out of the conflict. This is not a local tribal clash. It is a multi-layered war involving HTS aggression, external intelligence coordination, and strategic bombing campaigns with the Druze community caught in the crossfire and left to defend themselves alone.

Analysis from relatively resistance alligned Lebanese political commentator Khalil Nasrallah

spoiler“Events in Sweida took a different turn. The al-Jolani group repeated the same mistake of the coast, with the difference that the people of Sweida had prepared for a day when their homes would be violated. What happened was that, for the people of Sweida, the calculations of who was supported by Israel and who was not, and who aligned with Sharia law and who was not, were no longer subject to considerations. The issue became a matter of honor and dignity. Accordingly, they rose up in a manner that has begun to produce some repercussions. "Shaving off mustaches" and killing people, executions and burnings, "you pigs" and "you infidels," and kidnappings, targeting those with and without ties to the Hijra, led to the perception that the threat now lies with the Druze community. The one who committed the sin is the one who brought sectarian slogans to Sweida.“

Now Israeli Druze have crossed the border into Syria to protest, the IOF have moved further into Daraa, and there are rumors of Lebanese Druze forming a group to go fight in Syria (time is a flat circle)

The Lebanese army is taking measures to control the border and stop people going to fight

“The road closure and military deployment come amid heightened tensions in the region, which has a significant Druze population and borders Syria. The Lebanese Army is reportedly taking precautionary measures due to fears of potential spillover from the ongoing conflict in Suwayda, Syria.”

It will be somewhat difficult, given that we don't yet know how much Israel will step in and how crushing the response from HTS will be. Did you read the Al-Akhbar article?

Visual outline of the situation, Damascus on top, Israeli occupied areas in blue, and the Suwayda Military Council area is in grey

Basically the Druze saw the attitudes of the central gov towards minorities and organized quicker than the Alawite communities did. They have so far been able to prevent the pogroms and massacres along the coast from repeating to them, but the deployment of HTS hasn't yet reached its peak, we've just seen media of convoys headed that way

Israeli airstrikes have happened in the last few hours while HTS has ignored them and focused on sieging the area currently fighting back. It seems desperate and I don't see Israel's token bombings as being sufficient to prevent the hammer from coming down. I started with the telegram poster taking up arms to illustrate the difficulty they're facing, despite being better than the horrors from earlier this year

Not sure about the selling out specifically. This article goes into how it fell apart pretty well, despite being written before the dust settled. It was hollowed out so thoroughly that I don't think some generals getting the bag and dipping is out of the question.

"More seriously, these [Facebook complaint] pages began accusing the 30th Division in general, and the 47th Regiment in particular, of being infiltrated by opposition sympathizers over the past year. These accusations became even more explicit as opposition forces began conducting successful raids against 30th Division positions in western Aleppo this year. A 47th Regiment 67th Battalion point was attacked in Qabtan al-Jabal on the night of March 16, losing two tanks and triggering accusations that one of the unit’s members was an opposition ‘agent.’ This same battalion had been accused for months of being rife with corruption. On September 2 a 30th Division position in Kabashin was attacked and two soldiers captured, triggering a new round of complaints explicitly calling for the ‘cleansing’ the division of sleeper cells. Within hours of the initial attack on November 27, one SAA complaint page wrote a scathing post addressed to Bashar al-Assad"

Always a good sign when the Druze OSINT source in Syria posts the following:

“ 🇸🇨🙏 Okay guys, time to take up arms, good luck to everyone and thanks for your attention!

رحم الله جهاد الموحدين الجبليين.”

https://t.me/hawran_osint/861

For context, clashes between Bedouin tribes and the SMC escalated and now it seems like HTS are going to try and deal with the Druze in Suwayda permanently. Jolani has sent reinforcements while Israel has struck some Syrian tanks claiming to protect the Druze communities. Bad vibes all around
