More than 1,000 people have been killed in Syria’s deadliest clashes since Bashar al-Assad’s ouster, according to war observer.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reports that more than 1,000 people have been killed in clashes between security forces and loyalists of ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The violence erupted on Thursday when pro-Assad militants ambushed security forces in Latakia, a coastal province that was once a stronghold of Assad’s Alawite support base. In retaliation, Sunni Muslim gunmen loyal to the government stormed several villages, killing dozens of Alawite civilians.
The government has acknowledged "individual violations" as some sought revenge for recent attacks on its forces.
Over two days of fighting, SOHR estimates that 745 civilians, mostly in massacres, have been killed, along with 148 pro-Assad fighters and 125 security personnel.
Syria’s state news agency reported that all roads leading to the coastal region have been closed to prevent further violence and restore stability. This marks the deadliest outbreak of violence since Assad was toppled in December 2024.
