The Homs City Council began removing debris and cleaning streets in the Al-Muhajirin and Armenians districts on Sunday, following acts of vandalism and arson that damaged property and vehicles the previous day.
In a statement, the Homs Governorate said municipal teams will continue working throughout Monday and Tuseday to complete debris removal and restore affected streets to normal conditions as quickly as possible.
The statement added that civil defense crews, represented by the Directorate of Emergencies and Disasters, responded to all fires, controlling and extinguishing them. Preliminary assessments reported 19 homes, 29 vehicles, and 21 commercial shops damaged during the incidents.
Authorities confirmed that the criminal investigation into the Zaydal crime is ongoing, with results to be announced once finalized. The governorate also stressed continued coordination with tribal and community leaders to prevent uncontrolled reactions and maintain public calm, while local teams engage with residents in affected neighborhoods to reassure them.
All relevant agencies and institutions are operating in high coordination, while field teams continue evaluating the situation and providing necessary support until the aftermath of the events is fully addressed.
Yesterday, Internal Security Forces cordoned off the Zaydal crime scene, where a man and his wife were killed, and deployed reinforcements to stabilize southern Homs neighborhoods.
