Druze demonstrators in northern Israel staged widespread protests Thursday night, decrying violence against their community in Syria. Protesters blocked major intersections, including Kabri and Ami'ad Junctions, lit tire fires, and displayed Druze flags, according to KAN News. Some activists climbed traffic lights to raise their banners, while others marched toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea..
The demonstrations caused significant disruptions, with bonfires on the roads sparking tension between protesters and stranded drivers.
In response, Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the spiritual head of Israel’s Druze community, and MK Hamad Amar (Yisrael Beytenu) issued a joint appeal urging protesters to disperse and return home..
Earlier, Sheikh Tarif had called on Israel and the international community to intervene and protect Druze communities near Damascus. "I urge the State of Israel, the international community, and the Jewish people to act immediately to prevent a massacre," he said. "The time for action is now.".
