A video released by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) shows the execution of medical staff at Suwayda National Hospital in Syria on July 16-17, 2025. The footage depicts armed men, identified as members of the Syrian Ministry of Defense and Internal Security, detaining hospital staff dressed in medical uniforms and executing at least one unarmed doctor at point-blank range after a confrontation. Additional footage suggests the involvement of militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and an individual displaying ISIS insignia during the massacre. The hospital is located in the predominantly Druze province of Suwayda in southern Syria. The incident has drawn condemnation from the Syrian government, which has pledged to hold those responsible accountable. The attack has been described as a war crime, with reports highlighting the lack of media and international response. The Israeli Air Force reportedly intervened to stop further massacres of the Druze population in the region. The Syrian government has formed a committee to review public sector dismissals over the past decade amid broader unrest. The United Nations and major media outlets have remained largely silent on the incident.
