Druze Armed Groups

The Druze insurgency in Southern Syria is an ongoing conflict in southern Syria between Druze militias and the Syrian transitional government. Since the fall of the Assad regime, the conflict has centered around control of Druze-majority areas in Suwayda Governorate and conflict with local Muslim Bedouins. In October 2025, The New York Times reported that over 1,300 people had been killed in the violence, mostly Druze civilians.
