Druze demonstrators protest in several locations throughout northern Israel due to this week’s deadly clashes in southern Syria between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes.

The protesters demand that the Israeli government do more to intervene in support of their coreligionists in Syria, according to Arabic-language outlets. Some of the demonstrators torch car tires and also block traffic in several locations.
