Mar Elias explosion in Syria raises questions
The article discusses the bombing of Saint Elias Church in the Al-Duwailaa neighborhood of Damascus, which occurred in June 2025. It highlights the lengthy investigation and the mysteries that still surround the operation. After more than a year, the Syrian Ministry of Interior released a film purportedly revealing details about the attack; however, it failed to identify the true perpetrator, the fate of most of the detainees, or provide a comprehensive explanation of the execution stages. Criticism was directed at the lack of precise information regarding the roles of the cell leaders and the identities of some suspects, particularly "Abu Hattoun" and the church suicide bomber known as "Abu Mujahid." Official narratives also showed contradictions regarding the movement patterns and execution of the attack, as well as the absence of clear physical evidence concerning surveillance and planning operations. Questions remain about the identity of the perpetrator, the timing of the operation, and the fate of those detained, with indications that the investigation did not clarify how the operations bypassed the previously announced ceasefire order by the leadership.
