Following a violent ambush on security forces by loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, Syria has witnessed severe clashes leading to an estimated 1,000 deaths over just four days. The violence, rooted in the ongoing civil war, particularly affects the Alawite community, inciting revenge attacks from Sunni militants. The interim government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa is organizing investigations into the violence, while the Defence Ministry claims control of the region has been restored despite considerable civilian casualties and ongoing tensions between conflicting factions.
The recent ambush on a Syrian security patrol by pro-Assad gunmen marked a severe escalation of violence in Syria, with an estimated 1,000 fatalities in four days.
Counteroffensive efforts against loyalists have led to widespread chaos in the coastal region, with rights groups reporting significant revenge killings from Sunni militants against the Alawite sect.
