The local time on July 15, 2025, in the capital city of Suweida in the southern province of Suweida, Syria, was taken by the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces. The Israeli authorities were alarmed. Not long ago, the Israeli Air Force launched a massive bombing of the city of Suweida in southern Syria, using F-16I and F-15I fighter jets, dropping heavy bombs. In addition to destroying the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces' tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, numerous pickup trucks, rocket launchers, and weapons equipment that failed to evacuate, the most severely hit by the Israeli Air Force were the Syrian Ministry of Interior and HTS police forces who had just entered the city to take over the capital city of the southern province of Suweida. Dozens of police cars and armed pickup trucks were bombed, and more than 100 personnel from the HTS Armed Police suffered casualties.
Originally, the "President" of Syria, Joulani, was concerned about the interference of the Israeli military, so he ordered the HTS armed police force to replace the army to enter the city, in order to express "goodwill" to the Israeli authorities. However, after the Israeli Air Force received permission from the Israeli authorities to bomb, it gave no face to Joulani and the Syrian New Army, and carried out a fierce bombing on the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces that had not yet evacuated completely. At this time, Joulani also became anxious and ordered the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces to withdraw entirely. This round of dramatic changes in southern Syria saw the slow response of the Israeli authorities and the Israeli military, because when the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces attacked the city, the Israeli Air Force did not bomb, and the Israeli Army's tank forces did not stop them. As a result, the Druze armed militias surrendered without a fight, and even the HTS Armed Police of the Ministry of the Interior arrived, and the Israeli Air Force only remembered to carry out a large-scale bombing, and it was also an unannounced attack, catching the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces off guard. Joulani's nine elite main forces had originally hoped to have won within 24 hours, capturing the capital city of the southern province of Suweida in Syria, but now they have to face an intense bombing by the Israeli Air Force. Now, it is actually the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces that are fleeing from the front line.
What is the relationship between Israel and the Druze people? The Druze people in Israel must serve in the military and are an important source of the Israeli Defense Forces. The relationship between Israel and the Druze people is similar to that between the Manchu people of the Qing Dynasty and the Sibe and Hezhe ethnic groups. The Druze people are vassals of Israel and are relatively pro-Israeli. Those serving in the Israeli military are the Druze people from Palestine. Most of the Druze people in Syria identify themselves as Syrians. The bombs of the Israeli Air Force are many, bombing Gaza in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, and now even Syria! Anyway, if the Israeli Defense Forces run out of bombs, the United States will definitely send them immediately. From the current stance of Israel's unannounced warfare, there is no sign that the Israeli military has been restricted and prevented by President Trump of the United States. Therefore, the Israeli military will be able to bomb the Syrian New Army and HTS armed forces without any restraint.
