Civilian Death Toll From Syrian Government Massacres Surge Past 1,300
Bodies are still being found across Syria’s coast, and the numbers are expected to continue rising
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on 12 March that the civilian death toll from the recent massacres committed by Damascus’s forces against Alawites on Syria’s coast has surged past 1,000.
“..The total number of victims rises to 1,383 civilians,” the war monitor said… Unofficial estimates from the past several days say the number of victims from the government’s massacres could be in the thousands…
Syria’s transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa – the former Al-Qaeda chief who was known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani… announced this week that his government will launch an investigation into the events that took place on the coast on 6 and 10 March.
…Heavy clashes erupted on Thursday last week after security forces entered two villages near the coastal city of Jableh and were ambushed by cells affiliated with Syria’s former military, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA). The new government mobilized reinforcements to be deployed across the coastal regions of Latakia and Tartous, marking the start of the widescale operation.
This set off a large and seemingly organized attack by SAA cells and allied groups.
Members of different extremist factions that have been integrated into the HTS-led Ministry of Defense and armed forces went door to door, killing civilians, including women and children. Many of the massacres were documented on video by the militants themselves.
The majority of the victims were people of the Alawite minority – to which former president Bashar al-Assad belongs.
While a significant amount of perpetrators were foreign fighters, many others were Syrians. A local source speaking with The Cradle on Monday said it is “clear” that official Syrian security forces took part.
As a result of the massacres, thousands of Alawites have crossed the border into north Lebanon over the past several days after fleeing in fear for their lives.
