Israel is making preparations to house refugees from Syrian President Bashar Assad's minority Alawite sect should his government fall, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.- Gen. Benny Gantz told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tuesday.
"On the day that the regime falls, it is expected to result in a blow to the Alawite sect. We are preparing to take in Alawite refugees on the Golan Heights," Gantz said.
