At least 20 people were killed when suicide bomber blew himself up at the Mar Elias Church in the Dweila neighborhood of the Syrian capital, Damascus, on June 22, in the first such terrorist attack since the fall of the regime of of former president Bashar al-Assad last December.
The Interior Ministry said that the suicide bomber was a member of ISIS. He entered the church, opened fire and then detonated his explosive vest, according to a statement released by the ministry.
However, a Syrian security source told Reuters that two gunmen were involved in the attack, including the one who blew himself up.
Citing the Health Ministry, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency said that 52 people were also injured in the terrorist attack.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist bombing that targeted the Mar Elias Church in the Dweila neighborhood of Damascus. This crime will not undermine the unity and will of our people. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded,” Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said on the X social network.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who led the final offensive that brought down the Assad regime, promised to protect minorities after entering Damascus. However, attacks on minorities are still being reported on a daily basis.
Last March, over 1,700 civilians, mostly members of the Alawite minority, were killed in a brutal government crackdown on the coast. Later between April and May, over 100 members of the Druze minority were killed in a series of attacks near Damascus, also attributed to government forces.
So far, the government has done very little to actually protect the minorities, who remain excluded from the country’s new security apparatus.

iran must be destroyed…
these christians in america are doing a great job taking care of their fellow jesus worshippers in the middle east.
do you think jesus will not send trump and his followers to hell? i just ask. are christians at all or are there something at the level of some sects who have set trump instead of god? my feeling tells me that scientologists are closer to heaven than the evangelicals …
why did they blow up the church you maggot.
ker je putler kazar jud in je zato izdal sirijo in iran.
you westoid infants are destroying yourselves
the fruits of the attack on iran already beginning to show for old al pikes plan…right on schedule too.
putin said something about israel being an extension of russia. scott ritter, an ex un weapons inspector who does analysis said, iran didn’t sign a defense agreement with russia because it would restrain them.
he said russia would put boundaries on what iran could and couldn’t do against israel. he says they’re freer now without a russian defense agreement.
sorry to write this, but maybe all these pro axis of resistance putin haters have a point.
you are right. putin isn’t the stronger leader or ally. he made an agreement with israhell that could bomb in syria as long they didn’t come near the russian bases and to make matters worse, syrian army wasn’t allowed to use s300 to shoot down the israheli planes but only use shorter range missiles to defend it self against the bombs. unfortunately for iran there wouldn’t come any help from russia even that iran gave them drones when they really need it.
putin defending the people who brought the commie revolt and the 90s oligarch plundering of russia. pretty disgusting.
russia has always been disgusting and will always be disgusting, so i hope that europe will expected a fair democrat who will take over the us leadership and will fairly destroy russia.
trump’s false catholics will end up in hell hole, tom cruise and his scientologists will end up in heaven.if the putler jew’s pig did not interfere with syria, syria would not exist now, because it would split between turkey, israel and lebanon. this it would of course connect hezbolah with the sea.
where is adam gadahn pearlman (dual national i$raeli/american citizen($)) and all the “9/11 hijackers” to praise for their contributions that did work on behalf of the 6 sided star and u.$. government that made acts of terrorism like this possible?… and please s-f… don’t delete this one which is my second to this post! ps mr. poutine why did you leave syria so that this could happen?!!!
because he changed his into parts of ukraine when she and trump talked about the end of the war in ukraine.
however, he forgot that ukrainians, with the help of europe, when democrats come to the white house, will take the stolen parts of ukraine back, as well as parts of georgia and, of course, kareljo.
us tax dollars at work. 🤮
