Israel launched strong air strikes in Damascus on Wednesday and intended to harm the Ministry of Defense and the Presidential Palace in response to the Syrian government forces attacking the species of Community in South Syria.
This event represents an important escalation of Israel, which promises to destroy the Syrian government forces unless they rise from the city of the second-majority of Sweid.
The United States considers the situation “worrying” and urges Israel to stop strikes. Israel, however, threatened to intensify the attacks if the Syrian government forces would not happen.
Who are the other?
Others are followers of religion, which is an offshoot of Islam and are primarily spreading over Syria, Lebanon and Israel.
The minority community is found mainly in the province of Sweida in South Syria and was sometimes caught among the forces of the former Assad regime and extremist groups during the ten -year civil war in Syria.
More than 20,000 others live in Golan Heights, a plateau that Israel seized from Syria during the 1967 war. Most of these others identify themselves as Syrian citizens and refused the offer of Israeli citizenship when Israel confiscated the region.
Those who refused received Israeli residential cards but are not considered Israeli citizens.

The Israeli intervention stems from the long -term commitment to protect the other, especially those in Syria, because of the deep historical ties with its own citizens.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel is “determined to prevent damage to the other in Syria because of the deep fraternal alliance with our other citizens in Israel”.
Previously, the Syrian government troops were sent to the Sweid region on Monday to hit and end the fighting between the other fighters and Bedouin armed men.
Syrian troops, however, eventually clashed with the other militia, which further escalated tension.
The other spiritual leader reported on Tuesday that his community was the victim of a “barbaric attack” of the Syrian government forces.
However, the government denied these claims and accused some of the forbidden gangs of violence against the community.
