Syria's Druze minority is navigating a new, uncertain Syria since the fall of Bashar Assad. Caught between the new Islamist-led government and hostile neighbor Israel, the Druze are concerned about their place in the new system. Tensions have broken out, with unknown gunmen killing a member of the government's security forces and Israel threatening to send forces to protect the Druze. Druze armed militias have existed for years, but mistrust between the government and the Druze deepens their worries.
