The Fellowship Responds to Violence Against Christians and Druze in Syria

Stand for Israel  |  May 2, 2025

After recent violent attacks against religious minorities in Syria, many in the Druze community are pleading for support.

In a daring and dangerous operation, The Fellowship teamed up with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to deliver medical equipment and food boxes to Druze and Christian villages in Syria in the middle of the night amid significant risk.

The violent attacks against religious minorities in Syria have increased significantly in recent days with people being arrested, tortured, and abused:

Hakmat Al-Hajeri, the spiritual leader of Syria’s Druze community, issued a statement saying the community had lost trust in the new leadership.

“We no longer trust the body that calls itself a government. We do not trust the presence of its people among us because they are nothing but machines of murder and kidnapping, distorting the facts, with a sectarian mindset that deems other sects as infidels,” he said.

Please pray for all those Christians and Druze who are being persecuted in Syria right now under this new violent regime. As The Fellowship helps on the ground, we must pray that God watches over the innocent and protects those who simply want to live out their faith in peace.

Earlier today, Yael Eckstein, our president and global CEO, sent this on-the-ground report.
