At least four people have been killed and six others injured in clashes near Damascus, Syria, following the circulation of an audio recording allegedly insulting the Prophet Mohammed. The violence broke out in the town of Jaramana, which is home to a mix of Druze and Christian communities.
The audio recording, reportedly attributed to a member of the Druze community, sparked widespread outrage and led to clashes between armed men from Jaramana and neighboring towns. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and rocket blasts throughout the morning, and security forces have since cordoned off the area to prevent further escalation.
The Syrian Interior Ministry has launched an investigation into the incident, but so far, no evidence has been found to confirm the speaker's identity or community affiliation. The Druze community in Jaramana has condemned the audio recording as a fabrication designed to incite sedition and sow division among the people.
