Islamists storm army positions
Archival footage from the Syrian Civil War. Islamists with the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) storm positions of Asad regime troops. In the initial few seconds it is clear that they are not concerned with flagging each other or muzzle discipline. By September 2017, the conflict had been raging since 2011 and the prodemocracy groups and army defectors which had initially opposed the regime had been usurped by a mishmash of extremists factions. Some groups, such as HTS, were offshoots of Al Qaeda. The Syrian Army, on the other hand, was quite exhausted by this point and relied heavily on support from Russia and Iran.
1 views / TodayHezbollah drone brought down by small arms fire
POV footage from a Hezbollah bomber drone captures the moment small arms fire disables the drone, causing it to crash down to the Earth. According to the source, this footage recorded somewhere near the Syria border, but no further context was released with the footage. This video was recorded in 2017, and is seeing widespread circulation today. On Twitter, and a few other social media platforms, this is being passed off as recently recorded footage related to the on-going conflict between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Force. In reality, this was recorded during the peak of the Syrian Civil War in 2017, and is some of the earlier drone footage from that conflict. It's easy to see drone related footage and think that it was recorded in the post Russo-Ukraine War, but the reality is that drones have been fielded on the battlefield as far back as 2012 and 2013 when the United States first started fielding the Switchblade systems in Afghanistan.
1 views / TodayKurds prank Syrian troops with drone dropped water bottle
Amid a tense peace agreement between the Kurdish-led SDF and the Syrian Transitional Government, the SDF pranked the STG by dropping a water bottle near a cluster of militants who promptly scatter. The gesture is anything but a lighthearted joke. It's to send a message that "we are watching and have the ability to inflict casualties at will," so it's best to adhere to the peace agreement.

A Syrian Transitional Government (STG) henchman is recording a selfie video about what it's like to be a low IQ product of inbreeding when a Syrian Defense Force (SDF) Mugin-3 loitering munition zips in and rocks his position. It's unclear from the footage if he survived.
1 views / TodaySyrian Democratic Forces drone-bomb government staging areas
This footage shows the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) attacking the Syrian Army's mustering points and staging areas with drones. This is an attempt to offset the rather large disparity the SDF currently faces in terms of manpower and materiel. The drones in question are Chinese-made Mugin-3 loitering munitions, likely sourced via black market.
1 views / TodayFPV drone war drops Syria expansion
This collection of FPV drone strikes comes from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led, US-backed coalition of militias in armed opposition to the Islamic State. Here, they're striking vehicles and equipment belonging to the Syrian state military, which enjoys the backing and materiel support of Turkiye/Turkey. The inevitable proliferation of cheap, replaceable drones marches inexorably onward, securing its place as a force multiplier in another conflict- this time, in Syria. As is also the case with anti-junta militias in Myanmar, FPV drones will become increasingly important to the Syrian Democratic Forces who are at a logistical and firepower disadvantage, particularly after their forces were all but routed from Syria in early January 2026.
2 views / TodaySyrian soldiers interdict SDF fighters on the run
This footage shows Syrian military troops chasing down and detaining militants from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led, US-backed coalition of militias which opposes Islamic State factions in armed conflict. A major push by government forces resulted in an SDF rout throughout Syria on 18 January, 2026. Here, we see an SDF group being tracked, followed and interdicted in the desert, specific location not disclosed. Pro-Syrian sources claim that this particular element had intended to ambush government forces but were discovered. However, this video alone is not enough to provide such a motive.
0 views / TodayRaqqa locals hunt down SDF remnants
This clip shows a mob- for lack of a better term- of civilians in Raqqa who are on the hunt for remaining Syrian Democratic Forces and/or pro-Kurd elements in the city, in the wake of the SDF being almost completely routed by government forces. The civilians are shown with what appears to be police riot gear, which was looted, liberated, or borrowed, depending on perspective. Although propaganda and bias is running rampant in the released footage of these events, it has been suggested that the remnant SDF troops have resorted to revenge killings post-defeat, prompting this urgent response. A man is shown lying in the street at the 0:48 mark, though context as to his condition and affiliation is unclear.
0 views / TodaySyrian locals in Raqqa clash with SDF
This short clip shows civilians in Raqqa taking up arms against elements of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led, US-backed coalition of militants. Although the SDF have historically enjoyed US support in their fight against militant Jihadist factions, there have been accusations of Human Rights violations levied at the SDF- including for the displacement and detainment of thousands of people for suspected Islamic State affiliation- which have won scant sympathy for them among the Arab majority. As the primarily Arab population of Raqqa began pushing back against the SDF presence on January 18, 2026, the Syrian military was ringing the city.

More footage released to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service shows the support operations that went into the recent strikes against 70+ Islamic State targets in Syria.

In what appears to be archival footage from the Syrian Civil War shows two insurgents operating an improvised "Hell Cannon." The ammo bearer appears to lose his grip on the loading rope, sending the munition (a propane tank packed with explosives) rapidly down the barrel toward the firing pin.
1 views / TodayShocking: another ceasefire fails in Syria
Footage coming out of Syria today shows Government forces and the Bedouin Militia engaging with Druze Militants once again in spite of the on-going attempted ceasefire. This shocks absolutely no one, even though the ceasefire has not yet been called a failure.
1 views / TodaySyrian regime attempts to train army
Clips of training exercises as the interim Syrian government attempts to forge a motley crew of tribal factions, extremist groups, and raw recruits into a national army. The footage highlights the poor state of Syrian defense infrastructure as Cold War-era Soviet relics trundle about while men in mismatched uniforms look on. The Syrian Civil War which began more than a decade ago devolved into an existential struggle to the death between Assad’s regime and an assortment of revolutionary and extremist groups. After clinging doggedly to power for years, the regime suddenly collapsed, leaving men and groups formerly considered terrorists in command of a fractured state. The recent violence in and around Suwayda is indicative of Syrian’s fragile condition. When violence broke out between the local Druze and Bedouin tribes, the government sought to intervene, not with national troops but with a collection of tribes and extremist groups which represent the interim government. The effort quickly devolved into sectarian bloodletting, incurring the wrath of Syria’s southern neighbor, Israel. The need for a military that can act in the interests of the state, free of sectarian influences, is clear, but the path towards achieving such a goal is uncertain.
1 views / TodayBedouin tribal technical attacks Druze fighters
This quick clip shows a Bedouin or tribally affiliated technical truck being used to attack Druze forces in Sweida. This is reported to have occurred on 25 July 2025. The truck backs into position, to allow the maximum amount of traverse for the gun, which appears to be a ZU-23-2. This is a widely-exported, Soviet era anti-aircraft platform, featuring twin-mounted 23-millimeter autocannons. While it's often seen in truck-mounted technical configuration, the armored turret upgrade is somewhat more rare.

Members of a Syrian Islamist militia in the vicinity of the Druze enclave of Suwayda flee an Israeli airstrike. The source observes that the militia is Sunni, affiliated with the Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. The source also purports that these militias have perpetrated heinous crimes against the Druze, including setting an elderly Druze man on fire and flinging men off rooftops. Observes maintain that these militias operate with the support of the new Syrian regime, and Druze leaders have labeled the violence as ethnic cleansing. Within the past few hours, reports of a ceasefire resulted in an uneasy quite descending over the city of Suwayda, though looting and burning continues in the surrounding villages. The regime announced the ceasefire after meetings in Jordan between the Syrian foreign minister, the Jordan deputy prime minister, and an American envoy. An Israeli ultimatum to Syria to forces to withdraw from the region or face full Israeli military intervention doubtless factored into the cease fire negotiations. It was reported that government-backed Islamist militias, like the one shown, rejected the ceasefire and attempted to advance into Suwayda against Druze resistance, until the Syrian government threatened to cut supplies of ammunition and fuel. Though the militias eventually halted their advance, stories of atrocities continue to emerge, and the smaller hamlets surrounding the city of Suwayda continue to burn.

More cell phone footage coming out of Suwayda this morning shows a large contingent of Bedouin forces advancing towards Druze positions in the city. The footage concludes with the group celebrating their advances, but it doesn't show much in terms of combat outside of the initial footage showing the recording group crossing the street and shooting up a vegetable cart.

A fighter with a government-backed Islamist militia fires an RPG at an unseen enemy. Fighting continues between Druze militias and an array of antagonists that include members of Bedouin tribes and Islamist groups such as HTS, which are in turn supported by the new Syrian regime. The Druze are backed by Israel, and Israeli air strikes have pushed the militants out of the southern Syrian city of Suwayda, allowing Druze fighters to retake some outlying villages.
1 views / TodayAftermath of strike against Syrian General Staff
A compilation showing Israeli and Syrian footage of an airstrike against the headquarters of the Syrian General Staff in Damascus. According to Euronews, the Israeli government claimed that the attacks are a response to continue violence against Druze in and around the southern Syrian city of Suwayda. Israeli pilots also struck Syrian military units and allied militia groups near the Druze enclave. Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, demanded that the Syrian government “leave the Druze alone.” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar reiterated Israel’s commitment to the Druze and to the demilitarization of southern Syria, while Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee sated that Israel would not permit a military threat to exist in the south of the country (Syria).
