Israel Helps Syrian 'White Helmets' Evacuate To Jordan

Description

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - About 800 members of Syria’s White Helmets civil defense group and their families were evacuated via Israel to Jordan on Sunday from southwest Syria, where a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive is under way, media said. Israeli media identified the Syrians as belonging to the White Helmets organization. The Syrian military, backed by a Russian air campaign, has been pushing into the edges of Quneitra province following an offensive last month that routed rebels in adjoining Deraa province who were once backed by Washington, Jordan and Gulf states.
