Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"My brothers, Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in As-Suweida, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious.

The IDF is operating, the Air Force is operating, other forces are operating. We are operating to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime's gangs.

And now I have one request for you: You are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border.
You are endangering your lives; you can be murdered, you can be kidnapped, and you are harming the efforts of the IDF. Therefore, I ask you – return to your homes, let the IDF operate."
