SYRIA denounced Israel’s involvement in the weekend evacuation of White Helmet members to Jordan as a “criminal process” yesterday.
The Foreign Ministry said the “smuggling operation” revealed the role of Israel, the United States, Britain, Jordan, Germany and Canada in propping up a “terrorist group” that poses as a civil rescue force in areas of Syria held by jihadists and their imperialist-backed allies.
The overnight evacuation was co-ordinated to extract over 400 White Helmet members from Syria’s frontier with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, where they were besieged by Syrian troops.
German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced: “I have decided that Germany will accept eight members of the Syrian opposition civil rescue service the White Helmets as well as their families and will grant them protection.”
There was no announcement by other White Helmet government sponsors.
Syrian government forces announced Daraa province’s total liberation from Nusra-linked extremists yesterday, when full control was exercised over Nawa city.
