For decades, Syrians have been taught that Israel is the evil enemy, but many have now learned that the Jewish state is their only source of assistance.
Syrian civilians have been suffering for six years in that country’s ongoing civil war. Meanwhile, the IDF, through Operation Good Neighbor, has provided literally tons of food, medical supplies, baby formula and diapers, hygienic equipment, fuel…and more.
In this video, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot, IDF Chief of Staff, discusses Israel’s obligation to the victims of Syria’s civil war as neighbors and as Jews.
By being a good neighbor and planting the seeds of friendship, the IDF is actually enhancing security.
