Beginning on 28 April 2025, sectarian violence between Druze militias, Syrian transitional government military units, and affiliated militias resulted in the deaths of several Druze civilians, many of whom were extrajudicially killed.
A much larger massacre of Druze people in Syria would occur during the July 2025 fighting in Suwayda.
