Syria: Protest ongoing near the Bab Salama border crossing in Al-Salameh July 1
Protest ongoing near the Bab Salama border crossing in Al-Salameh, Syria, July 1. Increased security likely, clashes possible.
Protesters have gathered near and disrupted traffic at the Bab Salama border crossing in Al-Salameh July 1. The demonstration is in response to violence against Syrian shop owners in the Turkish city of Kayseri during the evening of June 30.
Authorities will almost certainly maintain a heightened security presence near the Bab Salama border crossing and deploy additional security forces to monitor any protests that materialize over the coming days. Localized ground transport and business disruptions are probable. Clashes between protesters and security personnel cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration area due to the potential for clashes. Depart the area at the first sign of any confrontation. Plan accordingly for potential disruptions to ground travel. Heed the instructions of security officials.
