Widow of Fallen Druze Colonel Vows to Continue His Legacy and Mobilize Youth
Yasmina Khattar, the widow of the late Colonel Maher Khattar, has pledged to continue her husband's path following his death in southern Lebanon approximately one month ago.

In a recent statement, Yasmina, who is now raising their two daughters alone, highlighted her husband's decision to enlist at a later stage in life and emphasized the growing desire among the new generation to serve. She issued a direct message to the young people of Majdal Shams to mobilize. Beyond honoring his memory, she outlined her next personal mission: advocating for changes to the nationality law. Asserting that while Israel is a Jewish state, the Druze community is an integral part of it, she aims to bridge legal and social gaps. Her statements reflect both personal grief and a broader political commitment to integration and civic duty within the complex demographic landscape of the Golan Heights.
