Syrian Arab tribal armed forces showed an Arab journalist the Druze women and children they had abducted, and were very generous in allowing the journalist to interview the Druze women. The Druze women said they did not voluntarily go with the Arab tribal armed forces, but were kidnapped. It can be seen that there are three women and two children squeezed into the car, and these Arab tribal militiamen may have first asked their families for ransom, and if the money was not paid, they would most likely sell these women and children. Currently, the Druze people in Suwayda province say that more than 80 Druze women have gone missing, and it is likely that all of them were taken as hostages by the Arab tribal armed forces.
Although such incidents seem shocking to us, they are common in Arab tribes in North Africa and the Middle East. Arab tribes have a tradition of raiding rival tribes, and women and children are the main targets of abduction, considered very valuable assets. Because the more women and children a tribe has, the stronger the tribe will be, and vice versa, leading to its downfall. There are countless tribes in history that have been destroyed due to the abduction of women and children.
