Interior Ministry Provides Details on the Mar Elias Church Bombing
The Syrian Ministry of Interior revealed details about the bombing of St. Elias Church in Al-Duwailah neighborhood in Damascus, which occurred on June 22, 2025. Officials indicated that ISIS planned to target the church and the Shrine of Sayyidah Zaynab with the aim of inciting sedition and inciting societal unrest. They confirmed that the organization changed its strategy after the liberation of Syria, shifting its attacks toward places of worship and community components in order to undermine social cohesion. Security forces managed to arrest around 1,300 militants, including leaders, and dismantled 34 cells affiliated with the organization. Continued efforts are ongoing to pursue those responsible for the operations and to dismantle terrorist cells. The detainees attributed the regrouping of ISIS elements from the desert into cities to rebuild their cells, with plans to target worshippers inside the church, as well as deliberate attacks on the Shrine of Sayyidah Zaynab, aimed at creating societal fractures. The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to protecting citizens and maintaining national peace.
