Nice infographic! What I don't understand is how can such a small Druze militia, such a small force,create so much chaos and wreak havoc so easily. If the numbers of kidnappings are to be believed,how the heck can they just go in and grab all these people. Where are the Bedouin militias,where's the local police,the bedouins should have their own self-protection units.

Man,such a small number? That's why I asked you the other day. I thought they must have been anywhere from 3,000-10,000 or something.
Oh that explains a lot then.The bedouins they are grabbing are already inside Suweida living as a minority in a Druze majority region, thats why its easy to grab them, the Tribes they are fighting are the same tribe, but they rest of them live in the next district/governate over in Daraa.
They are able to create this chaos, b/c #1 the bedouins they are doing it to are isolated. #2 Israeli air support and airdrop supply and other support.

It would be foolish to lay down arms right now. They could surrender all their weapons right now,disband their army and police units,even their militias,and they could have random armed groups attacking them a few weeks later.Couple of months ago there were so much cheering over the YPG joining the central government. Turns out, the YPG may have realised its not such a great idea to lay down arms when other religious ans ethnic minorities are getting slaughtered.
