Israel’s U.S. embassy on Saturday shared footage of Druze Israel Defense Forces troops stationed in Syria singing in Arabic.
“A rare, candid moment you don’t see every day,” the embassy wrote.

The Druze are a small religious sect living primarily in northern Israel, Lebanon and parts of Syria. Israel’s Druze citizens are known for their identification with the state and willingness to serve in the military.
After the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, Jerusalem seized control of large parts of southern Syria, expanding a security zone and maintaining a military presence amid ongoing clashes and airstrikes.
