Commentary — The Golan region of Syria, much of which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967, is home to thousands of Arabic-speaking Druze people. The al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, which is trying to overthrow the government of President Bashar Assad, has recently been massacring Druze villagers in Syria. So when Druze in Israeli-occupied Golan found that the Israeli military was transporting injured Nusra Front jihadists for medical treatment, they attacked the convoy.

There have for years been reports of Israel treating al-Qaeda and ISIS fighters, and of course the prolonged civil war in Syria is very much in the declared interest of Israel, which has stated it doesn’t want any side to win. The following article from the Times of Israel includes some interesting information, despite its Zio spin.
