Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israel Strikes Syrian Military Amid Deadly Sectarian Clashes in Suweida
Caption: Israel Strikes Syrian Military Amid Deadly Sectarian Clashes in Suweida. Israel launched major airstrikes on Syria Wednesday, targeting the defence ministry in Damascus and military forces in the south, as sectarian violence in Suweida entered its fourth day. Prime Minister Netanyahu said the strikes aimed to protect Druze communities under threat, calling Syrian government forces "regime gangs." Over 300 people have died since Sunday, including civilians, Druze fighters, and government troops. The fighting erupted after a Druze merchant was abducted, sparking a wave of violent clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Israel's strikes have escalated tensions further, hitting military convoys, weapons storage sites, and even a hospital under siege in Suweida. While the U.S. says a ceasefire may be near, Syria accuses Israel of inflaming chaos. Meanwhile, humanitarian conditions are worsening, with reports of civilian casualties, sniper fire, and hospitals overwhelmed by the wounded. The crisis marks one of the deadliest flare-ups in southern Syria in years. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
