Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement on Wednesday. Netanyahu says the military strikes were meant to protect the persecuted Druze minority in Syria.
“My brothers, Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in Suwayda, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious.
The IDF is operating, the Air Force is operating, other forces are operating. We are working to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime’s gangs.
And now I have one request of you: You are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border.
You are putting your lives at risk; you could be killed, you could be kidnapped, and you are hindering the IDF’s efforts. Therefore, I ask you—return to your homes, let the IDF operate.”
אחיי אזרחי ישראל הדרוזים, המצב בסווידא, המצב בדרום-מערב סוריה, הוא חמור מאוד.
צה”ל פועל, חיל האוויר פועל, כוחות אחרים פועלים. אנחנו פועלים כדי להציל את אחינו הדרוזים וכדי לחסל את כנופיות המשטר.
ועכשיו יש לי בקשה אחת מכם: אתם אזרחי ישראל. אל תעברו את הגבול.
אתם מסכנים את חייכם;… pic.twitter.com/3C6mAJSB4V— Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) July 16, 2025
