The reason Israel held back last night? It’s not just military calculus - it’s political math.

Yes, Druze serve in the IDF. But so do Bedouins. Fewer in uniform, but nearly double the voting power: ~180k Bedouin voters vs. ~80k Druze. Both communities live inside Israel.

Attacking Bedouin tribal forces in Suwayda to defend the Druze risks igniting inter-communal tensions inside Israel itself. So Israel froze.

Short-sighted policy XXX.

Better stick to calling Uncle Sam next time you need something done in Syria.
