New Escalation Targeting Minorities

Local sources reported an explosion inside Imam Ali Mosque (peace be upon him) in the Wadi al-Dhahab neighborhood of the city of Homs. According to preliminary information, the blast resulted in the martyrdom of twelve individuals and the injury of several others with varying degrees of wounds, amid a state of heightened security alert in the area.

Comment

This attack represents a dangerous escalation that appears to deliberately target religious minorities and places of worship, signaling an attempt to inflame sectarian tensions and undermine social stability. Such acts of violence not only violate the sanctity of religious spaces but also threaten civil peace and coexistence. Regardless of the perpetrators, targeting civilians in houses of worship constitutes a grave crime under both international humanitarian norms and basic moral principles.
