Israel walked into a wave of sectarian violence in Syria, launching airstrikes on Wednesday, threatening to attack Syrian government forces if the clashes continue to clash with fighter jets from the country’s arid minority.
Israeli forces said the aircraft had struck a group of “operatives” south of Damascus and accused them of “attacking hay civilians.” It did not identify the operative. However, previously, the Israeli government said the attacks targeted members of unidentified “extremist groups.”
At least 39 people (22 on Wednesday) were killed in two days of clashes between Syrians on the outskirts of Damascus, according to the Syrian Human Rights Observation Group, a British-based war watchdog group.
The Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday came after violent clashes between government fighters and dry militias from near the town of Asurafie Sanaya, a largely interfering area south of Damascus.
The attack on the area around Damascus, which has a massive hay population, began overnight Monday through Tuesday after audio clips were circulated on social media claiming to be interfering clerics who scorn the Prophet Muhammad. The clergy denied the charges and said Syrian Interior Ministry had said that the initial findings showed that he was not a person in Clip.
The violence has deprived fear among many diverse ethnic and religious minorities in Syria who are increasingly concerned about persecution under the control of Syrian new Islamist leaders who overthrew dictator Bashar al-Assad in December.
The collision began primarily in the city of drying jaramana. By the end of Tuesday, 17 people had died.
According to the Observation War Watch Group, the disturbance spread to Asurafie Sanaya overnight on Wednesday, with the drues militia fighters fighting “companies belonging to the Ministry of Defense and the Interior and other commissioners.”
Sana, Syrian news agency, said armed gunmen attacked checkpoints and vehicles belonging to Asurafie Sanaya’s government forces. The agency didn’t say who the armed gunman was, but it clearly mentioned Druse Fighters.
According to SANA, officials from the Syrian Interior Ministry, who attacked the government’s troops “criminals” and said the government would fight back “with iron fist” attacked the government forces and said the government would fight back.
According to a joint statement between the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and the Minister of Defense, Israel’s first airstrikes were described as a warning against what is called “extremist groups,” which are called “extremist groups.”
Israel has a considerable hay community, many of whom consider themselves loyal citizens and serve in the military. Israel has offered to protect Syrian interference if attacked amid the country’s recent turbulent transition.
Many Syrian hay rejected the offer.
Syria is a predominantly Sunni Muslim country, while hay is a religious group that practices a secret religion rooted in Islam. The rebels who led the overthrow of former dictator Bashar al-Assad were part of the Sunni Islamist group, once linked to al-Qaeda. They now run the government and the National Army.
Since banishment of Al Assad, Israel has made numerous invasions in Syria, raiding villages, firing hundreds of airstrikes, and destroying military pre-post bases. Israel says it wants to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of hostile groups, and does not want enemy forces to consolidate themselves in areas near the border.
The new Syrian leader is working to integrate the complex web of armed groups operating across the country into new state equipment. Some of the strongest hay militias are discussing with the government about their conditions for integration into the military.
Denominational violence has hit Syria several times since Assad’s ouster, and among many minority groups, yelling fears that the country’s new leaders will become alienated or targeted.
Last month, a wave of sectic killing spread across the coastal region of Syria, home to the country’s Alawis, the minority group that the Assad family belongs to.
