💨 Abstract

Leaders of Israel’s Druze minority support Israeli military intervention in Syria to protect Druze civilians from Islamist attacks. Israel's close ties with its 120,000 Druze citizens, who serve in the Israeli military, drive this involvement. Recent clashes left over 100 Druze dead, prompting Israel’s air strikes and ground troop deployments. Israel views defending Syrian Druze as strategically beneficial, as it helps counter Islamist threats near its border.
