Blame was directed at the Assad forces army who mistakenly hit the synagogue while targeting a nearby rebel enclave. Some also claim that jihadists were hiding inside the synagogue complex.The synagogue was believed to have been built atop the cave where the prophet Elijah hid from his persecutors.> Photo: Chrystie Sherman. -- source link
