Majdal Shams, a Druze community in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, represents the complexities of identity and occupation as residents navigate ties with Syria while rejecting Israeli citizenship.
Despite the availability of Israeli citizenship, the Druze of Golan Heights largely maintain their Syrian identity, creating a unique and challenging dynamic under occupation.
Recent political changes in Syria, including the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad, sparked celebrations in Majdal Shams, reflecting the community's complex relationship with Syrian nationalism.
The ongoing military actions by Israel across the Alpha Line into Syria highlight the tense dynamics between Israeli policies and the Druze community's tenuous position in the region.
