SDF Denies Al-Hol Camp Link to St. Elias Church Bombing - The Syrian Observer

  • On Sunday, June 22, 2025, a suicide bomber targeted the Mar Elias Church located in Damascus's Dweila'a neighborhood during the morning service, resulting in 25 deaths and over 60 injuries.
  • The attack, attributed by Syria's Interior Ministry to Islamic State sleeper cells and claimed by Saraya Ansar Al-Sunnah, happened amid Syria's fragile political transition after December's regime fall.
  • Two suicide attackers, armed with weapons, began shooting inside the church; one then detonated explosives indoors, while the other, trapped by security personnel, exploded outside, intensifying fears among religious minority communities.
  • The Assembly of Bishops mourned 25 lives lost and over 60 wounded, while international actors including the EU, US, and regional governments swiftly condemned the terrorist attack.
  • The attack underscored Syria's urgent need for inclusive security reforms and unity under new leadership to protect minorities and prevent further destabilization.
