Militants desecrate Orthodox Church of Holy Sophia in Syria's Hama Province
The same church was attacked by militants using drones during its grand opening a year ago.
On December 11, 2024, militants operating under the banner of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Group desecrated the Greek Orthodox Church of Holy Sophia in the town of Suqaylabiyah, located in the rural area of Syria’s Hama province.
A video recording shows the church vandalized, with its interior and property destroyed.
It is worth noting that the same church was attacked by militants using drones during its ceremonial opening a year ago.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Syrian militants had looted an Orthodox church in Damascus.
At the same time, Syria’s new government has pledged to protect the rights of religious minorities.
