In response to deadly clashes in Jaramana, where 13 people were killed, Druze elders are engaging with security forces to prevent further violence. The clashes were ignited by an inflammatory audio clip targeting the Prophet Muhammad, falsely attributed to a Druze leader. The Syrian Ministry of Interior assured a thorough investigation into the violence involving multiple factions. This situation reflects broader concerns about the new Syrian rulers' ability to secure minority safety while promoting national unity amid rising sectarian tensions.
The clashes were prompted overnight after an audio clip was circulated on social media attacking the Prophet Muhammad. The recording was attributed to a Druze leader.
A statement by the Druze community in Jaramana denounced the unjustified armed attack and condemned the audio recording, insisting it was fabricated to incite sedition.
Authorities in Syria have assured a thorough investigation into clashes that have killed 13 people in a town largely populated by the country's Druze minority.
