Following clashes sparked by provocative social media content, reports stated that at least 101 people were killed â a toll that included members of security forces, Druze fighters, and civilians. Al-Hijri labeled the incidents a 'genocidal campaign,' reflecting the gravity of the violence and the tensions between different sects in the region. A subsequent agreement allowed for security forces' presence, but troubling footage circulated of captured Druze being assaulted by pro-government factions.
