Israel’s border with Syria turned to chaos on Wednesday, with around 1,000 Druze residents of Israel breaching the fences into Syria and dozens of Syrian Druze trying to cross in the other direction, as the toll from the deadly violence in the southern Syrian Druze region of Sweida continued to rise steadily after four days of clashes.

The havoc on the border was mirrored in Damascus, as Israel punctuated its demand that the Syrian regime leave the Druze community of Sweida alone with a series of airstrikes targeting the country’s military infrastructure.

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.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says 20 Palestinians were killed this morning in a crush at an aid distribution site in Khan Younis, blaming armed agitators linked to Hamas for fomenting unrest.

The Israeli- and US-backed group says 19 people were trampled to death and one person was stabbed “amid a chaotic and dangerous surge, driven by agitators in the crowd.”

“We have credible reason to believe that elements within the crowd – armed and affiliated with Hamas – deliberately fomented the unrest,” the GHF says, adding that for the first time since operations began multiple fi****ms has been identified in the crowd.

“This horrific event follows a deeply troubling pattern in recent days. False messages about aid site openings, including at SDS4 (Wadi Gaza) and the long-closed SDS1 (Tal Sultan), have circulated widely on Telegram and other platforms, fueling confusion, driving crowds to closed sites, and inciting disorder,” the GFH says.

An Israeli defense official says the IDF strikes against Syrian forces in the Sweida area a short while ago are “exceptionally large-scale.”

“The State of Israel sees this as a test of its policy to demilitarize southern Syria and its commitment to the Druze,” the official adds.

The IDF confirms carrying out strikes on Syrian military vehicles in the Sweida area “per the directives of the political echelon.”

The strikes were carried out after the military said it had identified last night a convoy of Syrian armored vehicles heading toward the Druze city of Sweida, where deadly clashes with Bedouin tribes have been taking place.
