The intervention in Syria has sparked domestic unrest in Israel. Dozens of Israeli Druze crossed into Syria from the Golan Heights in protest, while others staged demonstrations in northern Israel. Police closed roads and worked to maintain public order during the protests, which included tire burnings and traffic blockades.

At least 18 members of Syria's security forces have been killed in the predominantly Druze city of Sweida, the Defence Ministry said, after they deployed to quell deadly sectarian clashes that had resumed on Monday,

Israel said its military struck several tanks in southern Syria, as clashes between Bedouin gunmen and Druze militias left dozens dead and injured.
