A single drop of blood from any individual in this country is precious to our hearts.” Following Tuesday’s killings in Syria, Syria’s Grand Mufti, Osama al-Rifai, ordered any calls for revenge or retaliation to end, and called the spilling of any Syrian blood “haram” (forbidden). Violence had erupted in Syria’s predominantly Druze area of Jaramana, near Damascus, earlier this week between members of the Druze community and Sunni Muslim gunmen. More than a dozen people were killed after an audio recording - attributed to a person from the Druze community - went viral in which insults were directed towards the Prophet Muhammad and other Islamic religious figures. The Syrian Interior Ministry said on Tuesday that it was investigating the origin of the recording and called for calm. Israel carried out a drone strike near the Syrian capital Damascus on Wednesday, hours after a controversial Israeli Druze leader pressed the Israeli government to “act” in the interests of the minority religious group.
