Five Syrian Druze, who were apparently wounded during sectarian violence in the country, were evacuated by the Israeli military to a hospital a short while ago, the IDF says.

They were taken to Ziv Hospital in Safed, where five other wounded Syrian Druze were taken in recent days.

The military says troops are “deployed to southern Syria and prepared to prevent hostile forces from entering the area and Druze villages.”

“The IDF continues to monitor the developments, while maintaining readiness for defense and different scenarios,” the military adds.
