Members of the Druze community hold a picture depicting a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, during a protest in the Druze village of Majdal Shams on the Golan Heights, June 15, 2015. Several hundred members of the Druze community on Monday called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to protect their Syrian kin following last week's killing of 20 Druze villagers by the Nusra Front, Syria's al Qaeda branch, during fighting in the ongoing Syrian civil war. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed the territory in 1981, a move not recognised internationally. REUTERS/Ammar Awad
