On November 19, 2025, in the city of Homs in central Syria, the young man Jaafar Youssef Al-Badour, who belongs to the Alawite sect, went missing after leaving the Civil Registry Department and heading to the Al-Waer Court to complete a legal procedure. Communication with him was completely lost, and he disappeared without his route being known. This incident occurred within a broader context of escalating sectarian violence and kidnappings targeting minorities in Syria, which lends his disappearance a significance related to the prevailing security conditions.
