By Lahav Harkov Israel struck the Syrian Defense Ministry's headquarters in Damascus on Wednesday in response to violence against the country's Druze minority, a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in the White House of the "opportunity for stability, security and eventually peace" with Syria. The strikes came after clashes between Druze and Bedouin groups that began on Sunday, leaving as many as 250 dead over four days in Sweida, some 25 miles from the border with Israel and in the area of Syria that Israel seeks to have demilitarized. |
