Israel's Steadfast Humanitarian Support: Aid for Syria's Druze

Israel has dispatched humanitarian aid to the Druze communities in neighboring Syria, as revealed by the country's foreign ministry on Thursday. This move is seen as a gesture of support for the minority group amidst Syria's political upheaval.

In the wake of Bashar al-Assad's removal and subsequent replacement by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Israel has ramped up efforts to aid the Druze. It carried out airstrikes on Syrian military positions and reinforced its presence in a UN-monitored demilitarized zone, which it describes as a defensive strategy.

Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed the delivery of 10,000 aid packages containing essentials like oil and flour to the battle-scarred southern province of Suwayda. Israel's caution towards Syria's new leadership continues amid ongoing geopolitical maneuvers in the region.
