Israeli Druze attack ambulance carrying wounded Syrians

Druze residents from the village of Horfish in northern Israel early Monday attacked a military ambulance carrying wounded Syrians, demanding to check whether the passengers on board belonged to a rebel organization involved in the civil war raging in Syria, Haaretz reported.

A number of the residents first blocked the ambulance's path as it was making its way through the village and asked to check its passengers. As the ambulance left, it was chased by two cars, and stones were thrown in its directions.

The ambulance managed to escape to the police station in the nearby town of Ma'alot and none of the passengers was injured, but one of the people chasing the ambulance down did sustain wounds and was taken to the hospital in Naharia for treatment.

The Ma'alon Police Station is investigating the incident, in cooperation with the Military Police.
