The Lebanese Druze leader confirmed Walid JumblattToday, Wednesday, that Israel Do not protect the sect’s children in a province As -Suwayda South SyriaAnd he warned those who called “weak souls.”
This came in statements made by Jumblatt, the former head of the Lebanese Progressive Socialist Party, in a telephone conversation with the official Syrian television, where he said, “Israel does not protect Druze In As -Suwayda, it uses some weak minds to say it protects them. ”
Jumblatt added that this, which was not called, may “benefited from the violations and attacks that took place in the previous two days.”
At the same time, the Druze leader reminded that “one of the causes of the civil war in Lebanon (1975-1990) that Israel claimed that it was protecting some in Lebanon, and ended up with the cabinets of the war.”
Israeli aggression
Jumblatt’s comments came a few hours after violent raids carried out by Israel on the Syrian capital, Damascus, targeting the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, the Staff and the Oce of the Presidential Palace, while the Israeli army said it was committed to a close alliance with the Druze and attacking targets throughout Syria to protect them.
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said that the Israeli army will continue to work strongly in the Syrian province of As -Suwayda to destroy the forces that attacked the Druze in southern Syria until their full withdrawal, he said.
Returning to the rest of Jumblatt’s statements, he stated that “communication continues with the foreign ministers, Asaad Al -Shaibani and the interior Anas Khattab in Syria with the aim of reducing congestion,” stressing that “the central role is for the Syrian administration.”
Value the opportunity
The Druze leader continued, “We must miss the opportunity for some weak souls, and we must open a wide dialogue with the activities in As -Suwayda.”
The Anatolia Agency says that the new Israeli aggression against Syria included air strikes on more than 160 targets in 4 southern governorates, which are As -Suwayda, Daraa, Damascus and Damascus countryside.
The Syrian Ministry of Health announced the killing of 3 people and the injury of 28 causes of raids in the center of the capital, Damascus.
The Syrian army forces entered As -Suwayda last Monday, to restore security and protect the people, after clashes erupted between armed groups of Druze and Bedouins in the province, which left dozens of dead.
Israel uses what it claims to be “protecting the Druze” in Syria is an excuse to justify its repeated violations of the country’s sovereignty, including its desire to make southern Syria “demolished.” However, most of the leaders of the Druze community in Syria confirmed, through a joint statement earlier, their condemnation of any external interference and their adherence to unified Syria, and their refusal to divide or separate.
Although the new Syrian administration is headed Ahmed Al -SharaIsrael did not threaten in any way, according to Anatolia. Tel Aviv, though, launches almost daily raids on Syria, which led to the killing of civilians, and the destruction of military sites, mechanisms and ammunition for the Syrian army.
Since 1967, Israel has occupied most of the Syrian Golan Heights, and took advantage of the overthrow of Bashar al -Assad in late 2024, and expanded its occupation in the Golan, as it occupied the Syrian buffer zone.
