Druze united in grief: "Unacceptable and shameful"

The attack on the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights has been condemned by leaders of the ethnic group in both Israel and Lebanon, the Times of Israel reports.

- I am in contact with Druze all over the world, including in Lebanon. They condemn what happened and share the grief of the families, says Muafek Tarif, spiritual leader of the Druze in Israel.

The Lebanese Druze leader Walid Junblat calls on all involved not to escalate the conflict.

- Harming civilians is unacceptable and shameful, regardless of whether it is in the occupied Golan Heights or in southern Lebanon, he says according to Ynet.

Just over 140,000 Druze live in Israel, mainly in the northern parts of the country.
