JERUSALEM, July 16, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Druze on Wednesday not to try to enter Syria, after dozens crossed the armistice line in both directions following deadly fighting in the Druze heartland.

"Do not cross the border," Netanyahu said in a statement, warning of a "very serious" situation in Sweida, where the Islamist-led government has intervened in deadly clashes between Druze and Bedouin fighters.
