ai generated text
Syrian authorities have condemned an Israeli air strike in the Damascus region, which they claim killed at least one security officer and injured several others. The strike was reportedly aimed at an extremist group that was preparing to attack the Druze population in the area. However, Syrian officials have rejected the Israeli account of the strike, saying it was an act of foreign intervention in their internal affairs. In response, Syria has promised to protect all components of its society, including the Druze minority.
Israel will not allow harm to befall the Druze community in Syria out of a deep commitment to our Druze brothers in Israel, who share family and historical ties with their Druze brethren in Syria.
A stern message was conveyed to the Syrian regime, Israel expects them to act to prevent harm to the Druze community.
The IDF (military) carried out a warning action and struck the organisation of an extremist group preparing to attack the Druze population in the town of Sahnaya, in the Damascus region of Syria.
On this Memorial Day for Israel's fallen soldiers, as we honor the Druze community's contribution to Israel's security, we stress our commitment to protect their brethren in Syria.
