— 🇮🇷/🇸🇾/🇹🇷 Foreign Ministry of Iran:

'We are monitoring with extreme concern the situation of Syria's religious minorities, specifically the treatment of Alawites, Shiites and Christians. We have asked the Turkish Government for clarification regarding these events, and we hold them partially accountable.

Iran currently has no relationship with the new Syrian government, and based on the current trajectory, we are not eager to do so.

We reiterate our call for a comprehensive and inclusive political process in Syria, in which all Syrians have the right to determine their own future.'

— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧 NEW: Effie Defrin has replaced Daniel Hagari as spokesman of the IDF

He notably served as a tank commander during the 2006 war and was severely injured in an ambush by Hezbollah, requiring evacuation while ventilated and in an induced coma.

In an interview with Haaretz about three years ago, he spoke about experiencing PTSD from that day and referred to it as the 'anniversary of my death.'
