On the early morning of July 15, 2025, pro-government Syrian forces affiliated with HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham) carried out a coordinated assault on the city of Sweida, a predominantly Druze area in southern Syria. Verified video evidence documents a war crime wherein more than ten(10) innocent Druze civilians were targeted and killed while sleeping inside a local hostel known as "Radwan Madafa". The deliberate and systematic nature of the attack, which involved entering a non-military civilian facility at night and executing its inhabitants while they slept, strongly indicates intent to destroy part of the Druze population, meeting criteria under Article II of the Genocide Convention.
