Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa was feted in last week’s visit to the US for the UN General Assembly, but the ongoing sectarian violence raging in Syria shows no sign of slowing. Gunmen attacked and killed four Alawite construction workers in the village of Jidreen, in the Hama Governorate. The attack on workers in Jidreen wasn’t the only incident over the past few day. An Alawite mosque in the al-Nuzha neighborhood of Homs has closed after another attack by gunmen who threatened to kill the muezzin over his wording in a call to prayer. The mosque closed indefinitely Friday after local security forces said they could not protect the site outside of Friday prayers.
