Condolences continue to be expressed in the wake of an attack last Sunday by jihadi insurgents in NW Syria against a Sunday school — in a small predominately Greek Orthodox city. The missile attack killed five children and their teacher at a monastery in the city of Al-Suqaylabiyah.
Extremists in northwest Syria, including rebels affiliated with ISIS and Al-qaeda, have long targeted Christians and non-Sunni Muslims in the war-torn country.
On Thursday, the Patriarch of All Romania, His Beatitude Daniel, was the latest Orthodox hierarch to convey his condolences and to condemn the latest instance of terror.
