Retired Druze IDF general accuses Syria's Sharaa of seeking to 'eliminate the Druze'
IDF Brigadier General (res.) Amal As’ad, a prominent member of Israel’s Druze, accused interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Wednesday of seeking to “eliminate the Druze” and criticized Israel for seeking peace with Damascus even as regime loyalists massacred Druze in southern Syria’s Sweida.
Syrian government forces entered the majority-Druze city of Sweida on Tuesday with the stated aim of overseeing a ceasefire agreed on with Druze community leaders after clashes with local Bedouin tribes left more than 100 people dead.
However, witnesses reported that the government forces joined with the Bedouin in attacking Druze fighters and civilians in a bloody rampage through the city. In total, the number of dead was said by Wednesday evening to have surpassed 300.

Just like the nazis. Genocide, ethnic cleansing and collective punishment by warmonger Sharaa. With Western complicity.
