The number of fatalities from a wave of sectarian violence in Syria is over 100

The number of fatalities from the outbreak of sectarian violence in Syria in Syria has exceeded 100, a war monitoring group announced on Thursday after the unrest had spread to new areas.

Violence broke out in the city of Jaramana on Tuesday after an audio clip on social media, who allegedly come from the druse minority who insulted the Prophet Muhammad. The cleric denied the accusation, and the Ministry of the Interior in Syria said that his first results showed that he was not the person in the clip.

Nevertheless, armed, Sunni Muslim extremist groups with the attack of areas, including Jaramana, started with large Druse populations on the outskirts of the capital Damascus. Druse militias reacted with strength to protect their neighborhoods and the government sent its own armed forces to suppress the unrest.

On Wednesday, the clashes spread in another city on the southern outskirts of the capital Ashrafieh Sahnaya. In the early Thursday, Damascus spilled to Sweida, a region of southern Syria controlled by Druse.

The bloodshed has caused the fears that a country in which religious minorities have felt deeply vulnerable since the fall of the Assad dictatorship in December in December.

This was the second major outbreak of sectarian violence since a rebel coalition of President Bashar al-Assad and the power of power fell.
