Syria's Islamist Govt Accused Of Targeting Minorities | Sectarian Violence Returns To Damascus

Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage. On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes. At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead. The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March. #Jaramana #SyriaCrisis #HTS #Druze #ReligiousConflict #Damascus #SectarianViolence #MiddleEastNews #BreakingNews #IslamistMilitants #SyriaNews #HTSClashes #ChristianMinorities #AudioLeak #ReligiousTensions #GunfireInSyria #Shelling #CivilConflict #WarInSyria #HTSViolence #Syria2025 #IslamicInsult #SyriaViolence #DruzeFighters #JaramanaNews #SyrianWar #HTSAccused #SyriaUpdate #ReligiousUnrest #MiddleEastConflict Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.410~

Hezbollah Chief Warns Netanyahu: “We Fear Nothing..” — 4,000 Dead, Lebanon’s Patience is Running Out

Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to Israel amid escalating tensions and ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement. With over 4,000 lives lost in Lebanon since the conflict reignited, Qassem makes it clear: “We have options — and we fear nothing.” In this powerful address, he underscores Hezbollah’s readiness to act, condemns Israeli expansionist ambitions, and calls out U.S. interference in Lebanese affairs.
