Just after the capital of Suwayda province in Syria, Suwayda city, was taken by the new Syrian army and HTS forces on July 15, the Druze Council announced: "Welcome HTS forces, and personnel from the Syrian Ministry of Defense and Interior to enter Suwayda province, and called on the Druze fighters in Suwayda province to abandon resistance and surrender their weapons." This time, Europe, the United States, and the West all opposed the Druze people's confrontation with HTS forces, and also opposed the Israeli Air Force's large-scale air strikes on HTS targets in Suwayda province, Syria. Therefore, the Druze people gave up large-scale resistance and tried to negotiate. However, the new Syrian army and HTS forces did not negotiate at all, directly charging forward despite the Israeli Air Force bombing, eventually breaking through the 50,000 Druze civilian militia. Why is Turkish President Erdogan and the "President" of Syria, Joulani, so confident to challenge Israel alone? Without the US getting involved, Turkey can really be tough. The Turkish army is considered one of the most capable in NATO. In fact, the combat capability of the Turkish army is not strong, but it has a large size, and can overwhelm opponents by sheer numbers. As long as the Western countries that support Israel do not sanction Turkey, Turkey truly does not fear Israel. This time, capturing the southern region of Syria is the first major victory for "President" Joulani of Syria since taking office. Moreover, it was achieved by the new Syrian army and HTS forces, who faced intense Israeli Air Force bombing.
