JERUSALEM: Israel’s military said today its forces deployed in southern Syria were ready to protect the Druze minority, following recent sectarian clashes.
The Israeli army “is deployed in southern Syria and is prepared to prevent the entry of hostile forces into the area of Druze villages”, the military said in a statement, without specifying whether this was a new deployment or elaborating on the number of troops on the ground.
A Druze official in Sweida province, the heartland of Syria’s Druze community, said there had been “no deployment of Israeli soldiers there”.
Israel’s troop presence is “reportedly confined to Quneitra province” near the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, where the army had “established positions” following the ousting of long-time president Bashar al-Assad in December, the official added.
After deadly sectarian clashes near Damascus earlier this week, Israel has conducted multiple strikes it says were meant to protect the Druze community and warned Syria’s Islamist rulers against harming the minority group.
Today the Israeli military said that “five Syrian Druze citizens were evacuated to receive medical treatment in Israel overnight” after sustaining injuries on Syrian territory.
The Druze official in Sweida said they had been wounded “in clashes in Sahnaya”, the site of recent sectarian violence near Damascus.
They were “afraid of being sent to hospitals in Damascus, out of fear of being detained”, the official added.
According to army statements, a total of 15 Syrian Druze have been admitted to hospital in Israel since the beginning of the week.
Israel launched more than 20 air strikes inside Syria late yesterday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, following an attack near the presidential palace in Damascus, which the authorities condemned as a “dangerous escalation”.
Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz warned Thursday that Israel will respond forcefully if Syria’s new government fails to protect the Druze minority.
The Israeli strikes came after Druze clerics and armed factions reaffirmed their loyalty to Damascus, following clashes also involving government-affiliated groups.
The observatory monitor said more than 100 people were killed in the clashes in Sahnaya and Jaramana, both near Damascus, and in Sweida province.
