Despite the cessation -the fire in the southern province of Suwaida between Sunni Bedouin tribes and the Druisan minority, the spiral of violence is still announced. Although there are reports of numerous new fatalities, more and more members of the religious minority from Israel cross the border to Syria to help their “brothers and sisters”. This in turn puts the Israeli army in trouble, which also intervened in the conflict.
The army said that various civilians from Israel were the intersection of the border to Syria in the area of the city of Majdal Shams, which is located on the Golan Heights, annexed by Israel. The Israeli army tries to safely bring people back to Israel. The border crossing is a criminal offense that endangers the soldiers and the public. Already on Tuesday dozens of Drusen from Israel crossed the border with Syria. The Israeli army reported to them.
At the same time, “dozens of suspects” from Syria could prevent a border crossing, it said. The German news agency (DPA) learned from the Syrian Observation Center in Great -Britain that it had information that it was Syrian Drusen who wanted to look for protection in Israel. Hader is just a few kilometers of Majdal Shams.
Drusen in Israel call for general strike
In an official statement of the religious minority in Israel it was said that all druses had to prepare for a border crossing to help her “murdered brothers in Syria”. The leader of De Drusen also mentioned a general strike and a march on the Golan Heights annexed by Israel and adjacent to South Syria. De Drusen in Israel exerts pressure on the leadership there to intervene in the conflict in the neighboring country. Israel would not drop the Druze, the Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz had said earlier. In Israel, many Druses voluntarily serve in the army – the Jewish state sees it as an ally.
Israel attacks the Syrian Ministry of Defense
The Israeli army has already intervened in the conflict and has been attacking the Syrian army for days. The Syrian Ministry of Defense in Damascus was even the target on Wednesday. Reuters reporters heard fighter aircraft in deep flight over the capital and saw a dense cloud of smoke as climbing over the ministry. According to an eyewitness, a bullet also hit right next to the presidential palace.
The Syrian state media confirmed that the attacks were carried out by Israel. The Israeli side called for the withdrawal of the Syrian government forces from the Drusen region.
The bombing was performed during the live broadcast of a Syrian news channel (see video below):
“We are surrounded and are scared”
In the fighting, militias of the Druisan minority and Syrian government forces and relatives of Bedouin tribes opposite each other. “We are surrounded and hear the hunters scream, we are so scared,” said a resident of the city, who is usually lived by Drusen. The Government in Damascus sent troops to the region on Monday to put an end to battles between Druze and Bedouins, but then came into fighting with the Druze militias. Since Sunday, a total of around 250 people have been killed in violence.
