Protests in Syria over a video of an Alawite shrine attack lead to curfews and clash fears.

Protests erupted in Syria following the circulation of a video showing an attack on an Alawite shrine in Aleppo, leading to curfews in cities like Homs, Tartous, and Latakia. The interim authorities, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, claim the video is old and deny recent involvement. Clashes have resulted in multiple casualties, and there are fears of sectarian violence as the Alawite community, historically loyal to ousted President Bashar al-Assad, faces pressure.
