Following is an excerpt from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s address on Tuesday, 6 Tammuz, at the 5th Annual International Cybersecurity Conference, at Tel Aviv University, regarding recent events on the Golan Heights, speaking about the attack against an IDF ambulance near Majdal Shams by members of the Druse community. The ambulance was transporting wounded Syrian citizens.

“I view this with utmost gravity. We will not allow anyone to take the law into their hands. We will not allow anyone to hinder IDF soldiers in their mission. We will locate those who perpetrated this lynch and we will deal with them to the fullest extent of the law. We are a nation of law; we are not part of the anarchy that is spreading around us. I call on the heads of the Druse community, a splendid community with whom we have a brotherly bond, citizens of the State of Israel, I call on them to calm the mood and tell each Druse citizen of the State of Israel – respect the law, respect IDF soldiers and do not take law into one’s hands. This is what I ask of our Druse brothers; this is what I ask of all citizens of the State of Israel.”
