Mosque Blast Kills Eight in Syria's Homs

  • During Friday noon prayers at the Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque in the Wadi al-Dahab neighbourhood, Homs, a bombing killed at least eight worshippers and wounded 18.
  • Long-Running fault lines across Syria set the context for Friday's blast as tensions flared in recent weeks, with a national commission reporting at least 1,426 killed and the Syrian Observatory more than 1,700.
  • Preliminary probes and security sources point to planted explosive devices inside the mosque, with Syria state media SANA showing blood, holes, shattered windows, and fire damage.
  • Security forces cordoned the site, transported casualties to hospitals and launched searches, while Syria's Foreign Ministry and neighbouring countries condemned the attack on Friday.
  • Authorities had increased security measures ahead of the blast, and late-November killings in Homs raised risks that the bombing could reignite instability after curfews ended Monday evening.
