Israel sends medical aid to Sweida in coordination with the US
Israel sent humanitarian aid and medical equipment to the Druze-majority province of Sweida overnight in an operation coordinated with the United States, according to Israeli public broadcaster Kan.
The US reportedly brokered the delivery with the Syrian government, but details of how the operation was carried out were not released.
On Saturday night, the Israeli Ministry of Health announced that it was preparing to send medicines and medical equipment to a hospital in Sweida, which was severely damaged during the fighting.
The delivery was made as soon as the necessary authorizations were obtained.
Israeli Health Minister Uriel Buso emphasized the special relationship with the Druze community: “Our connection with the Druze is well known, but beyond that, we have a commitment to life.
We cannot stand idly by when members of this community, inside or outside Israel, are in danger.”
