In the Syrian city of Homs, internal security forces affiliated with the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) administration announced that the curfew in several neighborhoods has been extended until 17:00 today.<\/p>\n
The decision was reportedly made to ensure the safety of citizens following clashes throughout the province that erupted after a recent murder.<\/p>\n
A statement from the governor’s office clarified the scope of the ban.<\/p>\n
The restriction covers the Abbasiyah, Arman, Muhajirin, Zahra, Nuzha, Ikrima, Nazihin, Ashira, Zaydal, Karm al-Zaytoun, Karm al-Luz, Hayy al-Wurud, and Masakin al-Shurta areas.<\/p>\n
The administration urged all residents in these neighborhoods to comply with the decision for their own safety.<\/p>\n
The announcement also highlighted the necessity of completing ongoing security procedures in the field.<\/p>\n
Tensions escalated yesterday after a couple from the Bani Khalid tribe were murdered in the town of Zaydal.<\/p>\n
The discovery of sectarian slogans at the crime scene added another dimension to the murder, triggering clashes that spread to other neighborhoods of the city.<\/p>\n
Following the murder, assailants from Bedouin tribes reportedly set numerous houses on fire, destroyed vehicles, and opened fire indiscriminately.<\/p>\n
Dozens of people were killed or injured as security units struggled to regain control amid the chaos, which also included incidents of kidnapping.<\/p>\n
A security source, speaking to the HTS-controlled al-Ikhbariya channel, announced that stability has been restored in the areas that experienced unrest.<\/p>\n
The source reported that the local population welcomed the deployment of security forces and has been cooperative.<\/p>\n
Competent authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n
It was emphasized that the Internal Security Forces stationed in Homs will resolutely prevent any attempt to disrupt social peace and stability.<\/p>\n
Officials also issued warnings against any exploitation of the incident.<\/p>\n
