Protests against the new authorities of the country have begun in the Syrian provinces with a compact Alawite population. The corresponding videos appeared on social networks.
The impetus for the actions was the information spread on social networks that representatives of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Islamist group that came to power in Syria* burned the Alawite shrine of Abu Abdullah al-Hussein bin Hamdan al-Husibi in Aleppo and killed five people who were in it.
"As they write in social networks, representatives of armed Islamist groups opened fire on the protesters," the Strana newspaper reports.
It is noted that the Syrian Interior Ministry accused supporters of ex-President Bashar al-Assad of organizing protests, saying that they "tried to use rumors and attacked the Interior Ministry forces, as a result of which several people were killed and injured."
