Syrian Govt Clashes With Druze Minority Over 'Blasphemous' Audio Clip | Israel Vows To Defend Druze

Violence broke out in the southern Damascus suburb of Jaramana after a controversial audio clip allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad went viral. The clip, falsely attributed to Druze cleric Marwan Kiwan, triggered deadly clashes between Druze gunmen and government forces. Kiwan denied the message, and Syria’s Interior Ministry confirmed he wasn’t responsible. At least 10 people were killed, with activist groups reporting higher tolls. As religious leaders call for calm and Israel monitors the situation, tensions remain high in one of Syria's most volatile suburbs. #Damascus #Syria #Jaramana #Druze #SectarianViolence #MiddleEastNews #ProphetMuhammad #MarwanKiwan #SyrianConflict #SyrianArmy #ReligiousTensions #SyriaNews #BreakingNews #SunniDruzeClash #SyrianMinistry #KiwanDeniesAudio #FalseFlag #Suwayda24 #SyriaUnrest #HumanRights #SyrianObservatory #DeathToll #CivilUnrest #SecurityCrisis #ReligiousConflict #SyriaUpdates #IsraelDefense #MiddleEastCrisis #ClashInDamascus #JaramanaViolence Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc

IDF vs Netanyahu BIG Fight Over HAMAS: Hostage Rescue Not Top Goals of Israeli PM | Shocking [Video]

IDF vs Netanyahu BIG Fight Over HAMAS: Hostage Rescue Not Top Goals of Israeli PM | Shocking

A sharp rift has emerged between the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over war objectives in Gaza. The IDF declared the rescue of 59 remaining hostages held by Hamas as its "supreme mission," placing it above the defeat of the terror group. This directly contradicts Netanyahu’s recent statement that military victory over Hamas is the top priority. The contrast reflects growing tension over strategy, as public pressure mounts to prioritize hostage recovery. Both sides claim to pursue both goals, but their order of priority exposes a fundamental disagreement. #IDF #Netanyahu #HostageCrisis #GazaWar #Hamas #IsraelNews #WarGoals #MiddleEast #HamasHostages#IsraelHamasConflict #MilitaryStrategy #NetanyahuStatement #IDFCommand #MoralDuty #HostageRescue#GazaHostages #IsraelDefenseForces #PoliticalTensions #HostagesFirst #Disagreement Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Big Warning On Gaza Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahus-big-warning-on-gaza-ceasefire-4068935.html?ref=DMDesc

Haifa 'Under Attack': Houthis' Hypersonic Missiles Hammer Iron Dome, Chaos Grips Northern Israel

A ballistic missile launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen triggered air raid sirens across northern Israel, including in Haifa. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the missile mid-air, but falling debris damaged the roof of a kindergarten at Kibbutz Mishmar Ha’emek. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This marks an escalation in long-range threats from Yemen. In response, Israel struck a target near Damascus as tensions heighten. Israeli leaders warned against any hostile movements south of Damascus or threats to the Druze community amid regional instability. #HouthiMissile #IsraelUnderAttack #HaifaSiren #BallisticMissile #YemenStrike #IDFResponse #MiddleEastCrisis#IsraelDefenseForces #MissileDebris #KibbutzDamage #NoInjuries #DamascusStrike #IranProxy #DruzeCommunity#AirRaidSiren #MissileIntercept #IsraelNews #SecurityThreat #WarUpdate #RedAlert Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc

Al-Qassam Brigades' Disturbing Video of Ambush House Filled with IDF Soldiers, Point-Blank Killings

In a chilling video released by Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, a high-level ambush unfolds in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood of western Rafah, Gaza. Israeli soldiers operating in the area are seen walking straight into a deadly trap as resistance fighters detonate explosive devices under military vehicles and open fire in close-quarters combat. The operation, involving multiple explosive devices including Shawaz charges, results in the destruction of several IDF vehicles, including Hummers and a military truck, with confirmed casualties. Hamas claims their fighters moved in for a direct confrontation after the blast, killing and injuring more soldiers in brutal urban warfare. This ambush is part of a string of high-impact attacks being carried out by Palestinian resistance forces against the Israeli military in southern Gaza. #GazaAmbush #AlQassamBrigades #HamasAttack #RafahBattle #IDFCasualties #UrbanWarfare #IsraelGazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #LiveCombat #HamasVideo #BreakingNews #GazaUnderFire #IsraelHamasConflict #PalestineResistance
