🚨🇸🇾 MASSACRE IN SYRIA: ALAWITES HUNTED IN POST-ASSAD VIOLENCE
Syria is witnessing its bloodiest days since Assad’s fall.
Hundreds of Alawites have been killed in the past few days as fighters loyal to the fallen regime clash with the new Islamist government.
For decades, the Alawite minority—just 12% of the population—was the backbone of Assad’s rule, dominating the military, intelligence, and government. Many saw his leadership as their shield in a Sunni-majority country.
Now, with Assad gone, they are facing a violent reckoning.
Reports of mass executions, kidnappings, and entire villages being wiped out in Latakia and Homs suggest a full-scale purge is underway.
Assad loyalists, fearing they will be exterminated, are taking up arms in what they call a fight for survival.
Their opponents argue this is the dismantling of an oppressive regime and a necessary step toward stability.
But with Alawite civilians—including women and children—being slaughtered in the crossfire, the line between justice and revenge is blurring fast.

🇸🇾SYRIA: CIVILIAN DEATHS SURGE TO OVER 340 AMID POST-ASSAD VIOLENCE
The death toll of Alawite civilians in Syria’s Latakia region has risen from 100 to over 340, according to a war monitor, as government security forces and allied fighters target communities linked to ousted leader Bashar al-Assad.
The violence is the latest chapter in Syria’s post-Assad turmoil.
His Alawite sect, which dominated the military and government for decades, now faces deadly reprisals from the new authorities.
Reports describe executions, looting, and sweeping security operations, with the overall death toll surpassing 550, including pro-Assad fighters and security forces.
The UN has condemned the killings, warning that the violence could further destabilize Syria’s fragile transition.
Meanwhile, Western powers and neighboring countries watch nervously, fearing that the country’s deep sectarian divides could ignite a new wave of conflict.
