Following attacks in the Christian town of al Suqaylabiyah in rural Hama, tensions escalated in rural Tartus; jihadist groups vandalized a Christian cemetery in Rawda, destroying crosses.
Sectarian attacks against minorities are on the rise in Syria.

In southern Syria - Daraa, Syrians today held a rally in support of the Syrian Government and vows to overthrow Israel. In itself, that’s nothing out of the ordinary.

But right now, a group of people on motorcycles is driving around the border zone between Israel and Syria; basically in full view of the military forces of Israel.

Sometimes only a mere hundred metres away from the border - this could potentially become a major disaster.

Syrian tribes primarily in Daraa (southern Syria) have declared a general mobilisation and Jihad against Israel - reason for the mobilisation is the recent law passed by the Israeli government which permits the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners.

The Israeli military launched flares in the border region - tensions are definitely rising.
The Syrian government has deployed a number of forces and will likely deploy more to establish a barrier between the border and the Syrian forces.

Attacks on Hewler are increasing

Drone attacks on Hewler have increased since last night. A drone attack targeted the British company Castrol in Hewler/Erbil.

Urgent

Tribes in Syria, particularly in Daraa in the south of the country, have declared a general mobilization and jihad against Israel after the passage of an Israeli law allowing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners.

Tensions escalated as the Israeli army fired flares near the border. In response, the Syrian government deployed forces along the border, with reinforcements expected to be added to create a barrier against further escalation.
