On July 19, 2025, local time, multiple U.S. Black Hawk helicopters transported medical equipment and supplies for the Druze militias to the National Hospital in Suweida city, Suweida province in southern Syria. This means that after intense fighting in southern Syria, the U.S. has used military forces for the first time to transport supplies to the Druze armed militias. The U.S. actions have already shown their position: the U.S. supports the Druze armed militias. Moreover, the U.S. only deployed helicopters, which is also a warning to the Syrian new army, HTS forces, foreign mercenaries, and Bedouin militias that the U.S. may be involved in the fighting in southern Syria at any time. According to the Druze armed forces' statement, this batch of medical supplies and materials was also assisted by the Kurdish forces, the supplies were provided by Israel, and the U.S. was responsible for the transfer.
On July 19, U.S. Defense Secretary Austin stated: "No matter in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, or Syria, we support Israel and defend its right to self-defense." The U.S. attitude is clear: anyone opposing Israel in the Middle East is the enemy of the United States. If Joulani, the Syrian authorities want to fight the enemies of the United States, they will be retaliated against by the U.S. military. The event that completely angered the U.S. authorities was that on the 19th, two American Druze citizens, Hussam Saria and Karim Saria, were directly executed by the Syrian new army, HTS forces, or Arab tribal militias during the conflict in Suweida. Were these two Druze not holding up their American passports when captured? Even if they did, it didn't help, as HTS forces and Arab militias don't know English or can't read. They might have even presented the passports, and the others said they would let them go, but the two of them said they would thank them well when they got to America, and then there was no more.
American government's special envoy for Syria, Barak, stated that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Syria's "great president" Joulani have reached a ceasefire agreement under Trump's mediation. Although the Israeli Air Force stopped bombing, HTS forces, Bedouin militias, and Arab militias continued to attack Suweida city fiercely. Israeli Air Force fighter jets and drones still flew over southern Syria, and at night, they continuously dropped illumination bombs to light up the area for the Druze militias, preventing HTS forces and Arab militias from attacking under the cover of darkness.
Syrian regime's internal affairs department spokesperson Nuruddin Baba announced on the 19th that all Bedouin tribal armed personnel within Suweida city, the capital of Suweida province in southern Syria, had left, and conflicts in all city districts had stopped. Some Bedouin tribes and Arab armed groups in Syria declared compliance with the ceasefire agreement and evacuated Suweida city, but the main forces remained in the suburbs. However, many Arab militia tribes refused to follow Joulani's orders, threatening to continue their attacks. Currently, both sides are resting locally, and fierce battles may break out again after midnight on the 20th. Now, Syria has become a huge chaos!
