Syria's new rulers angrily condemned the Israeli Air Force's raid on unidentified targets near the President's Palace in Damascus, warning of a "dangerous escalation."

Israeli officials said the attacks were intended to convey a message to the Syrian government, and a few days later there was a bloody clash between the supportive militias and fighters of the Druze minority.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz said in a joint statement that the attacks earlier on Friday were the second second in Syria this week, aimed at blocking the country's new leadership to avoid any hostilities against Druze.

"This is a clear message to the Syrian regime. We will not allow the deployment of troops in southern Damascus or any threat to the Druze community," the statement said.

Israeli troops confirmed in a statement that the fighter jets attacked the fighter jets near the palace of President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, Damascus, but did not provide further details.

An Israeli fighter killed four civilians in another strike Friday, Kanaker, in the southwest town of most provinces in Druze. The strike came after repeated statements by an Israeli military spokesman, the statement was deployed in southern Syria to prevent "enemy forces" from entering the village of Druze.

Israel said it would protect Syria’s religious minority in Druze, a declaration that most Druze leaders rejected.

The Damascus government ousted Bashar al-Assad in December last year and was led by the militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which originated from the al-Qaeda jihad network. Although Syria’s new rulers have promised to rule inclusively in a multi-ethnic multi-ethnic state, they face pressure from extremists in their posts.

The Syrian president called the strike “a dangerous escalation of state institutions and their sovereignty” and accused Israel of understatement of the country.

A man made a derogatory comment on Prophet Muhammad was circulated on social media, and clashed Tuesday. The clip was attributed to Rev. Druze, which angered many Sunni Muslims, but may have been fabricated.

On Thursday, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, one of the three Syrian Druz spiritual leaders, accused the Syrian government of largely a radical Islamic group led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, who had “unreasonable genocide attacks” against minority communities.

Hijri issued a statement calling for international protection for Druze in southern Syria, requiring international forces to "immediate intervention". Two other religious leaders in Syria, Druz, chose to negotiate directly with Damascus and refused to call for international intervention in Syria.

A UK-based monitoring team, Syrian Human Rights Observatory, said 56 people in the outskirts of Jaramana, Damascus in Sahnaya and Druze-Mai, were killed, including local armed fighters and security forces.

The Druze religious sect began with the branch of Ismailism, a branch of Shiite Islam in the 10th century. More than half of the approximately one million druzes live in Syria, mainly in the southern Swedish province and some suburbs of Damascus.

Druze lived most of his life in Lebanon and Israel, including in the Golan Heights, which Israel occupied from Syria during the 1967 war and annexed in 1981.

The Syrian government denied that any of its security forces were involved in the conflict with Druze, after which security forces and allied forces killed more than 1,700 civilians, mainly from the Alavit community in Bashar al-Assad.

Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani called for "national unity" on Thursday as a "solid foundation for any stability or rejuvenation process."

He wrote on X: "Any requirement for external intervention under any excuse or slogan will only lead to further deterioration and division."

Since the fall of the Assad regime in December, Israel has launched repeated air strikes in Syria that have damaged military hardware and inventory, a defense of Druze. Israel also sent troops to a demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights, seizing the main strategic terrain that had deployed Syrian forces on the southwestern border between Syria and Israel.

Israeli analysts say the strategy is designed to undermine the new Syrian government while also protecting potential proxy allies in the country. However, the strategy is controversial, with some officials saying a stable Syria will better serve Israel's interests.

Syrian President Sharaa told a visiting U.S. Congressman last week that Damascus wanted to normalize ties with Israel.

Protesters from the Israeli Druze community temporarily blocked the road Thursday night and called on the Israeli government to protect the Syrian Druze community.

Highlighting the regional dimension of the conflict involving Israel Qatar, a major supporter of the new Syrian ruler, known as the "blatant aggression of domestic sovereignty" on Friday, while warning alarms rang out Israeli alerts in most of Israel on Friday, attacked by a military official in the air defense system, a military official who had been attacked by Irran, who was sent to Iran.

Hushis has repeatedly targeted Israel since the outbreak of the war in Gaza 18 months ago.
