The Israeli army provides a "mobile" hospital for the Druze of the Syrian village, so what do we know about it?
The Israeli army announced at the end of last May, the operation of what it described as a "mobile field medical facility" in the village of Hadar, one of the Druze villages in the Syrian Golan Heights, to "provide medical treatment for the residents of the region and to support the people of the Druze community in Syria."
A military source in the Israeli army told BBC News that the hospital is a caravan with some rooms and wings that provide medical services in several specialties, as he "provides first aid and some treatment, and there are no surgeries inside it, and there is a doctor of gynecology, family doctor and pediatrician."
The source, who asked not to be named, added, "Patients with critical diseases are treated inside Israel after assessing their condition, and then returning again to their village."
"We only have two doctors in our village."
Adham (a pseudonym), a resident of the Syrian village, told BBC News that there was no prior coordination between Israel and the Druze elders in the village to build this hospital, which was confirmed by the Israeli army for the BBC.
Adham says that coordination was not made before the hospital was built, because the motives were "human".

"We needed this hospital, because there is currently no hospital in the village. We have only two doctors in our village, to examine patients."
Not only that, but Adham explains that these two doctors are not qualified to perform surgeries, as they only provide medical services, adding that "there are no factories or centers for analyzes and radiology", inside the village of Hadar.
According to Adham, the nearest hospital for the village of Hadar Al -Darazi is the National Golan Governmental Hospital in Quneitra Governorate, and it "has become almost free of doctors and medical devices, and even if any of the villagers want to conduct examinations or analyzes inside it, they buy some medical supplies."
He adds that if anyone needs surgery, he goes to the capital, Damascus.
Mohamed Saeed, director of the Media Directorate in the Quneitra Governorate, told the BBC that the former Syrian regime "had a major role in displacing minds and medical cadres from the area due to security pressure or low wages, which made the Golan Hospital work with the minimum of its ability."
"When the new government took over the administration of the country's rule, it began to restore some departments, such as the ambulance and gynecological department, and to provide some medical equipment in light of a significant shortage of doctors."
Mohamed Saeed explains that "the Ministry of Health seeks to fill the disability in the necessary medical cadres and the necessary equipment."
He attended one of the Syrian Druze villages in Jabal Al -Sheikh in the heights of the Golan Heights, and about 75 km southwest of Damascus on the southwest on the Syrian -Israeli border.
It also falls within the scope of the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights.
In December 2024, following the fall of the Bashar al -Assad regime, the Israeli army announced the deployment of its forces in that buffer zone.
In a statement, the army had said that entering that area was due to: "gunmen entering" it, and based on "an evaluation of recent events in Syria."
At the time, the United Nations Mission to Monitor the Contestation Control (Ondov), which has been responsible for monitoring the ceasefire between Israel and Syria since 1974, condemned the entry of the army.
A spokesman for the mission said that they noticed "movements of the Israeli army and construction operations in four locations in the Jabal Sheikh area, and raised Israeli flags in three locations inside the separation area."
"A blatant violation of Syrian sovereignty"
In response to a question about whether the Israeli army was coordinated with the new Syrian government before the construction of the hospital, Muhammad Al -Saeed, director of the Media Directorate in Quneitra Governorate in Syria, told the BBC that there was no coordination.
He added that "the Syrian government condemns any Israeli interference within its territory, including the illegal step of building a mobile hospital in the village of Hadar."
Saeed described the construction of the hospital as "a flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty and international law, which is part of the continuous Israeli occupation attempts to justify his illegal presence in the region."
While a source in the Israeli army told the BBC: "After October 7 [2023], the Israeli Defense Army realized that in order to protect Israeli citizens, it should move proactively to defend them, and be a barrier between the terrorists and the residents of Israel."
The source added that, after the fall of the Assad regime and with the absence of stability in Syria, "the Israeli Defense Forces forces established a buffer zone near the Israeli border, to serve as a protection class between terrorists and the residents of Israel."
Families had been displaced to the village of Hadar coming from the city of Ashrafieh Sahnaya, on April 30, after clashes between militants linked to the authorities and the Druze, during which Israeli bombing.
In his speech to us, Adham says that this displacement process has worsened the humanitarian situation in his village.
"Druze protection"
The source of the Israeli army says that because of that displacement, the hospital was built in a village of Hadar specifically to help the Syrian civilians who fled from Ashrafieh clashes, and many of them flocked to the nearby army forces stationed.
The source added: "The injured people [of fleeing civilians] asked to help us to treat them, and therefore it was very appropriate and useful to build the hospital there and it was not logical to build it anywhere else," adding that Israel has a responsibility towards the people of the Druze community, who have families living inside.
One of the Druze elders confirmed in the village of Hadar to the BBC, fleeing from Ashrafieh Sahnaya flocked to the areas where the Israeli forces are deployed in order to help, and asked not to be named.
This "mobile" hospital has so far provided treatment for more than 500 Syrian civilians who entered the Syrian village, according to the Israeli army.
