Last week , Syrian Sunni jihadists attacked Druse communities in Jaramana and Ashrafiyat Sahnaya , suburbs of the Syrian capital of Damascus .

Israel intervened by striking Syrian jihadi personnel and positions, including a site adjacent to the Syrian presidential palace.

Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels who control northern Yemen delivered a resounding blow against Israel on Sunday .

Some 700,000 Druse now live in Syria , where they make up 3.2 per cent of the country’s population.

Druse look to Jethro ( Nabi Shuayb ), Moses’ Midianite father-in-law, according to the Bible , as their prophet.

The Druse 's most important political principle is fraternity with fellow Druse , which obliges them to extend help to beleaguered Druse communities.
