=== Rebellion in Hauran ===
{{Main|Hauran Druze Rebellion}}
The Hauran rebellion was a violent Druze uprising against Ottoman authority in the Syrian province, which erupted in May 1909. The rebellion was led by [[al-Atrash]] family, originated in local disputes and Druze unwillingness to pay taxes and conscript into the Ottoman Army. The rebellion ended in brutal suppression of the Druze by General Sami Pasha al-Farouqi, significant depopulation of the Hauran region and execution of the Druze leaders in 1910. In the outcome of the revolt, 2,000 Druze were killed, a similar number wounded, and hundreds of Druze fighters imprisoned.<ref name=Rogan>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AMAbXGQDmDYC&q=killed&pg=PR7 |last=Rogan|first=E.L.|authorlink= Eugene Rogan|title=Frontiers of the State in the Late Ottoman Empire: Transjordan, 1850–1921|date=2002|page=192 |publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=9780521892230|access-date=2013-09-01}}</ref> Al-Farouqi also disarmed the population, extracted significant taxes, and launched a census of the region.
