Why Israel must not remain silent when the Druze in Syria are persecuted – a moral litmus test, a strategic imperative, and a historical responsibility.

Some people blamed Israel—the only country that went to their aid—for attacking Syria.

Israel broadens Golan deployments and warns tougher action if Syrian regime persists in attacks on Druze, as U.S., Syria and Israel issue stark statements.

As the Israeli Air Force conducts strikes in southern Syria, a military official says, “The more the Syrian regime has intervened, the worse it looks.”

The IDF “will soon raise the level of its responses” if Syrian forces continue to threaten the Druze community in southern Syria, said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.

Large columns of Syrian regime forces rolled into Sweida amid violent clashes between Druze militias and forces loyal to the Sunni Islamist regime.

Five wounded Syrian Druze civilians evacuated to Ziv Medical Center in the Galilee.

President Ahmed al-Sharaa must “protect the Druze in the suburbs of Damascus from attacks by jihadist rioters,” said Defense Minister Israel Katz.

More than 500 residents of Syria were allowed by their country’s new rulers and Jerusalem to join a pilgrimage in the Galilee.
