Druze protesters blocked Highway 6 today (Sunday) in protest of an attack on a member of their community in Tel Aviv over the weekend. During the demonstration, tires were set on fire on the road, and firefighting forces were called to the scene. The article also refers to a previous incident in May, in which Druze residents in the Golan Heights set fire to solar panels, a private vehicle, and a tractor in protest against the resumption of work to establish a wind turbine farm. Energix, the company responsible for the project, reported that eight of its employees were injured in the arsons, and two of them were evacuated to hospitals. The company accused the protesters of 'lack of governance by the government' and 'abandonment of an entire area to a group of Syrian Druze.' However, the article notes that contrary to the company's statements, the arsonists are Israeli citizens. The company called on the police and government to act against the lawbreakers.
