⚡️🇸🇾 🇸🇾 Sheikh al-Aql of the Unitarian Druze community, Hekmat al-Hajri, declared that the earlier statement urging calm was imposed by international forces and does not reflect the free will of the Druze community.

He confirmed that shelling and civilian killings by Damascus-affiliated forces continue despite the statement.

“We are experiencing a war of extermination.”

In response, he invoked the call “Ya Ghirat al-Din,” signalling general mobilisation among all Druze, and urged all men of Suwayda to rise in defence of their land, people, and dignity.

⚡️🇮🇱🇸🇾🇸🇾 In a joint statement, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the IDF to immediately strike Syrian regime forces and weapons that were brought into the Sweida area in Jabal al-Druze, Syria, for operations against the Druze — violating the agreed policy to keep southern Syria demilitarized and free of forces that could threaten Israel.

The statement emphasized Israel’s commitment to preventing harm to the Druze in Syria, citing the deep brotherhood with Israel’s Druze citizens and their historic and familial ties to the Druze in Syria. Israel says it will act to stop the Syrian regime from targeting them and to ensure the buffer zone along the border remains demilitarized.

Joint Statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz Following the Syrian Regime’s Attack on Druze in Syria:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have instructed the IDF to immediately strike regime forces and weapons that were brought into the Sweida region in the Druze Mountain area of Syria for regime operations against the Druze — in violation of the established demilitarization policy prohibiting the introduction of forces and weapons into southern Syria that pose a threat to Israel.

Israel is committed to preventing harm to the Druze in Syria due to the deep bond of brotherhood with our Druze citizens in Israel and their familial and historical ties to the Druze in Syria.

We are acting to prevent the Syrian regime from harming them and to ensure the continued demilitarization of the area adjacent to our border with Syria.
