Aleppo-based activist says pro-Iranian elements behind the incitement and violence caused the death of security personnel.
(Dec. 27, 2024 / Israel Hayom-JNS) Recent violence erupting across western Syria is being orchestrated by pro-Iranian elements, an activist from Aleppo supporting the new government told Israel Hayom this week.
“The demonstrations were contained and specific. Participants included minority groups, former regime loyalists, Iran supporters and suspected war criminals. These protests were organized to provoke a civil war, following [Iranian] Supreme Leader [Ali] Khamenei’s statement threatening Syria’s stability,” explained the resident of the northwestern Syrian city.
Media outlets aligned with the pro-Iranian axis have deliberately amplified footage of the protests, aiming to catalyze further demonstrations that could escalate into widespread unrest.
