Israel Offers To Occupy Syrian Town To Protect Local Druze Population
DAMASCUS, SYRIA — Israel, long a major player in the coalition of foreign governments seeking regime change in Syria, may now shed its passive role in the conflict for an active one. Last Friday, the spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Israel is “prepared and ready to assist the residents of the [Druze] village [of Hader] and prevent damage to or the capture of the village Hader out of commitment to the Druze population.”
