Israel’s Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that Israel has delivered 10,000 humanitarian aid packages to the Druze community in Syria.
The aid, including essential food supplies like oil, salt, flour, sugar and rice, was coordinated with local Druze leaders, the Israel Defense Forces and the Druze Religious Council.
The majority of the packages were sent to the Jabal al-Druze region in As-Suwayda, with others delivered to nearby Druze communities along the border.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar emphasized Israel’s strong alliance with the Druze, whom he called “our brothers,” stating, “It is both necessary and the right thing to do to assist other minorities in a region where we will always be a minority ourselves.”
