ILA senior Syrian government official has expressed concern that Druze armed groups in Sweida, a predominantly Druze region in southern Syria, may be planning an offensive against government forces, allegedly with Israeli support. The official claims that Israel is conducting increased aerial reconnaissance in the area and has reportedly delivered weapons and ammunition to Sweida via a helicopter. These allegations come amid heightened tensions in the region, particularly after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in late 2024, which has led to efforts by Damascus to reassert control over the country. The Syrian government views Israeli military activities in the region as a violation of its sovereignty, while Israel emphasizes its security interests in preventing hostile forces from operating near its borders.
