“Syria’s civil war is increasingly being fought along sectarian lines, with Sunnis dominating the rebel ranks fighting Assad’s regime, which is composed mostly of Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. At least one Syria-based Islamist brigade claimed responsibility for the attack on its Facebook page, but its authenticity could not be verified. The main Western-backed Syrian opposition group denounced ‘in the strongest terms the terrorist explosion.’ Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Ammar blamed ‘Israel and its tools in the region’ for the attack. Hezbollah, like the Syrian regime, refers to those fighting to topple Assad as agents of Israel and the U.S.”
