A suicide bombing at a Christian church in Damascus resulted in 25 deaths and over 63 injuries, prompting Syrian officials to blame the Islamic State. In response, Lebanon's President Aoun emphasized the need for protecting places of worship and all citizens. Leaders of the Catholic Assembly condemned the violence as a perversion of faith. Experts suggest the attack signals broader societal destabilization, targeting not just Christians but the country's social unity. Repeated violence against various religious groups has intensified concerns about the fragility of coexistence in Syria.
"There is no justification religious, moral, or rational for the slaughter of innocents, least of all in a sacred space. Such violence under the guise of faith is a grave perversion of all that is holy."
"The latest attack, as terrible as it is, is therefore not directed solely against Christians, but against the social fabric of the entire country as well as the transition process."
