Netanyahu criticises Druse ambush on ambulance

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday condemned the attack on an Israeli ambulance by Israeli-Druse in the Golan Heights, declaring that "nobody can take the law into their own hands, and nobody can disrupt the missions of Israeli soldiers," the JPost reported.

A mob outside the Druse village of Majdal Shams had attacked an ambulance carrying two Syrians brought into Israel for medical treatment on Monday, killing one and leaving the second badly wounded.

Netanyahu vowed to "bring the lawbreakers to justice" and called on the the leaders of the Druse community to "act immediately and calm spirits."

Northern District police confirmed that the mob stopped the Israeli ambulance carrying the two Syrians, threw rocks at it and attacked the two men
