In July 2025, once the assault began, Suwayda was plunged into chaos and horror. The following footages document the immediate aftermath: shattered homes, devastated families, wounded survivors, and, most tragically, the murdered and executed innocents—men, women, and children whose lives were brutally taken.

Below are graphic scenes from the first moments and hours of the massacre, presented as a testament to the truth and the resilience of Suwayda.

Destruction of Civilians’ Homes and Property

As terror swept through Suwayda, the devastation extended far beyond the loss of life. Armed attackers and government-affiliated forces unleashed a wave of destruction upon the homes, businesses, and farms of innocent civilians. Houses were set ablaze, family possessions looted, and entire neighborhoods reduced to ruins. For many, a lifetime of memories, hard work, and hope was wiped away in moments. Families were forced to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs, returning only to find their homes pillaged or burned to the ground. This calculated campaign of destruction was not just an attack on buildings, but an assault on the very fabric of the community—meant to break spirits and erase identities. Yet even amid this devastation, the resilience of Suwayda’s people endures, as they begin the difficult work of rebuilding from the ashes.

Below are images and accounts documenting the widespread destruction inflicted on the Druze community—a stark reminder of what was lost, and a call to support those who must now rebuild their lives.
