There are credible reports and widely circulated videos showing some armed groups—including members of the Syrian military—forcing Druze civilians at gunpoint to jump from balconies to their deaths, which has sparked outrage and has been condemned internationally. Both Druze and Bedouin communities have suffered brutality, with accusations of extrajudicial killings and revenge attacks, and no single side bears sole responsibility for the violence; the broader conflict is driven by regional instability, sectarian tensions, and longstanding grievances. None of these acts are defensible, and targeting civilians in this way is regarded as a war crime under international law, regardless of which group is responsible.
