Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has ordered NIS 2 million of humanitarian aid to be sent to Druze in Sweida, Syria, says the Foreign Ministry.
The assistance, funded by the Foreign Ministry, will include food packages, medical equipment, first aid kits and medicine.
The ministry does not say how aid will reach Sweida, the site of deadly violence this week, only that it will be delivered “in a targeted manner.”
The Foreign Ministry sent aid to Syrian Druze in March as well.
