Katz shared the video of the news anchor running for her life after she got scared hearing the explosions of the Israeli attack.

The minister stressed that the IDF will continue to operate forcefully in Suwayda to destroy the forces that attacked the Druze until their complete withdrawal.

"Our Druze brothers in Israel, you can rely on the Israel Defense Forces to protect your brothers in Syria. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I, as Minister of Defense, have made a commitment - and we will uphold it," he added.
