The operation was conducted in coordination with the head of the Druze community Sheikh Muafik Tarif and with the cooperation of the Druze Religious Council, the IDF and others in the region.
The packages include basic food, including oil, salt, flour, sugar, rice and more.
Most of the packages were delivered to "Jabal al-Druze" in As-Suwayda. Some were delivered to Druze communities near the border.
