Photo by Ayal Margolin\/Flash90.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A massacre perpetrated on July 13, in which hundreds of Druze Syrians were reportedly murdered, has shaken Majdal Shams, a picturesque town that\u2019s home to most of the Golan\u2019s 20,000-odd Druze residents, many of whom have relatives across the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our Oct. 7,\u201d Sari Halabi, whose home in Majdal Shams is situated 50 yards from the border fence, told JNS on July 17. \u201cLife froze. We keep watching the videos that the terrorists took of themselves butchering our families, feeling angry, anxious and completely destabilized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the grief and shock that has struck this community, many here feel proud of and grateful for Israel\u2019s robust intervention to stop the massacres\u2014on July 16, the Israel Air Force struck key regime targets in Damascus\u2014and optimistic that the Druze of Syria and Israel would unite in the wake of the massacres.<\/p>\n<p>Following the July 13 massacre in Sweida, a predominantly Druze city in southern Syria, hundreds of Druze living on the Israeli side of the border briefly crossed into Syria without permission out of concern for their families there, as dozens from that country entered Israel to seek safety and see relatives, though most were later returned.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in Israel, Druze citizens, of which Israel has about 150,000, declared a general strike, blocked roads and demonstrated, demanding Israel act to rescue their kin. The protest subsided after Israel struck Damascus on July 16, prompting the Syrian authorities to announce a ceasefire as security forces were deployed to Sweida to end the violent clashes.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the unrest underlined the deep impact that events in Syria have on Israel\u2019s Druze community\u2014a minority that has distinguished itself with loyalty to the Jewish state, including via active and meaningful military service.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the illegal border breach on July 15 and the protests, the Druze attachment to Syria \u201cis an asset to Israel, not a liability,\u201d said Halabi, a 38-year-old father of three. \u201cThis attachment opens the path to many things, which I think the terrible massacre has brought closer, including a Druze autonomy fighting and flourishing alongside Israel\u201d on the Syrian side of the border, he said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88871\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88871\" class=\"wp-image-88871 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88871\" class=\"wp-image-88871 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fence-2-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-88871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Druze residents approach the Israeli-Syrian border fence during a protest rally held in solidarity with their community in Syria, in Majdal Shams, Israel, on July 16, 2025. Photo by Ayal Margolin\/Flash90.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is because \u201cthe massacre will help settle an internal debate within the Druze community in Syria, and it will lead to more support for autonomy and self-reliance,\u201d said Halabi. Autonomy, he explained, means deepening the alliance with Israel, which is the only major power interested in a Druze-run buffer entity along its northeastern border.<\/p>\n<p>These geopolitical calculations weren\u2019t Halabi\u2019s first reaction to the massacre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just sitting there watching the horror videos, one by one. Just like we all did on Oct. 7,\u201d he said, referencing the invasion into Israel by thousands of Hamas-led terrorists, who murdered some 1,200 people and abducted another 251, often while documenting their own war crimes with body cameras and cell phones.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with a stream of images of similar atrocities coming out of Syria, hundreds of Golan Druze gather in the evenings on the eastern edge of Majdal Shams, near Halabi\u2019s home, where Syrian territory is a stone\u2019s throw away. There, they fly Druze flags, share impressions, talk to foreign and local media and survey with their own eyes their communities across the border.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Druze men, some of them wearing balaclavas, ejected&nbsp;<em>Al Jazeera<\/em>&nbsp;reporters from the town as Israeli troops and police officers guarding the border fence looked on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not news. This is reconnaissance. They\u2019re collecting information for the enemy,\u201d one young Druze man told JNS of&nbsp;<em>Al Jazeera<\/em>, the Qatari anti-Israel network.<\/p>\n<p>Security is a concern in Majdal Shams, especially after a Hezbollah rocket killed 12 children at a soccer field here last year. A nearby square commemorates the victims with a statue of a soccer ball adorned with a crown comprising 24 angel wings. Many here say Hezbollah targeted the field and timed the rocket to produce maximum effect.<\/p>\n<p>During last year\u2019s state commemoration of the victims of the war that erupted on Oct. 7, a resident of Majdal Shams, Luna Rabbah, represented the town when she sang a verse in the memorial song \u201cEtzlenu Bagan\u201d (In Our Garden.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88872\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88872\" class=\"wp-image-88872 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-300x139.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams.jpg 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/139;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88872\" class=\"wp-image-88872 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-300x139.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Yad-Sarah-volunteers-paying-their-respects-at-the-site-of-Saturdays-deadly-rocket-attack-in-Majdal-Shams.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-88872\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yad Sarah volunteers pay their respects at the site of the deadly rocket attack in the Druze village of Majdal Shams on July 27, 2024.

We could not accept this in any way,\u201d Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on July 17 about the strikes, which Syrian sources said killed dozens of people.<\/p>\n<p>The strikes were out of character for Israel, which very rarely uses military force in defense of non-citizens. Some find the strikes puzzling. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to make of it,\u201d said Ilham, a Druze woman in her fifties who preferred not to give her last name. \u201cMaybe it\u2019s some political plan involving Netanyahu, [U.S. President Donald] Trump, al-Sharaa and the Saudis. I don\u2019t believe it was about the Druze,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Many Druze in Israel say they feel discriminated against or unheeded, especially following the passing of a law in 2018 that states that Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, a formulation some Druze argue is discriminatory.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88873\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88873\" class=\"wp-image-88873 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/169;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88873\" class=\"wp-image-88873 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/abdullah-scaled-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-88873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Abdullah Rabah looks into Syria from across its border with Israel in Majdal Shams, Israel, on July 18, 2025.
