Israeli sources report that Israel is providing military support and weapons to armed Druze groups in Sweida province in southern Syria, according to reports from Israel Hayom and confirmed by Jerusalem Post sources. Druze leaders from the Sweida region reportedly travelled to the Golan Heights on Thursday for direct meetings with IDF officers.

A military aid shipment from Israel to armed Druze factions in Sweida has been delivered, according to sources citing Druze community leaders. The meetings between Druze representatives and Israeli military officials represent direct coordination between the two sides.

Syria has expressed increasing concern about a potential Druze offensive in Sweida, with Damascus claiming Israel is encouraging armed groups and providing military backing. The development reflects ongoing Israeli efforts to build alliances with armed groups in southern Syria following the Assad regime’s vulnerabilities.
