Six months ago, the Druze of Sweida suffered a terrible massacre during which 2,000 were killed reportedly by Syrian troops.

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

Lebanese Druze leader Wiam Wahhab was asked whether his people should fear Israel.

Israel has warned al-Sharaa’s Damascus government against harming Syria's Druze community.

'We look at our Druze brothers in the Golan Heights, at their level of education, at their ability to work and earn a living, and we envy them. But we understand that if we declare this publicly, we will be exposed to violence from the Syrian regime.'

Israeli prime minister adds that Israel 'will not tolerate any threat to the Druze community in southern Syria.'
