"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Syrian Druze Fighting Israeli-Backed Al-Qaeda- Al-Masdar News

The situation in southern Syria  has taken a turn for the worst in recent weeks, and at the heart of the south is Jabal Al-‘Arab (Jabal al-Druze), home to the largest concentration of Druze in the world.
Following Jabhat al-Nusra’s (al Qaeda in Syria) capture of Brigade 52 Base in the Dara’a Governorate, the terrorist group shifted their attention to the Tha’aleh Military Airbase in Sweida’s western countryside, where local villagers – alongside the National Defence Forces and the Syrian Arab Army – have mobilized to combat the Al-Qaeda group.
