Moscow, May 2 – Israel has attacked targets near the presidential palace in Damascus, the Syrian capital, reported the Prime Minister of the Hebrew country, Benjamin Netanyahu.
"This is a clear message to the Syrian regime. We will not allow forces to be sent south of Damascus or the Druze community to be threatened," he said in his joint statement with Defense Minister, Israel Katz.
Earlier this week, Tel Aviv had already attacked an extremist group in Syria, following clashes with the Druze community. For its part, the Syrian Foreign Ministry expressed its rejection of all forms of foreign intervention in Syria's internal affairs, without mentioning Israel, and declared Syria's commitment to protecting all Syrian groups, including the noble Druze sect.
Clashes erupted this week between Syrian government forces and Druze militant groups, in which 22 people were killed, Al Mayadeen reported. The Druze, who number about 140,000 people in Israel, are an Arabic-speaking minority distinct from the majority Arab Muslim and Christian communities. (RT) (Photo: Taken from the Internet)
