Times of Israel – Syrian Druze residing in the Golan Heights once burned ID cards offered to them by Israeli government authorities, after Israeli law was extended to the area in 1981. Three decades later, after 19-months of brutal civil war in Syria, Druze residents of the Golan are flocking to the Interior Ministry by the dozens to request Israeli citizenship.
For decades the flow of citizenship requests among Druze was a mere trickle. Now it is soaring, according to government statistics cited by Maariv on Friday.
