HTS terrorists reportedly initiate attacks at regular ten-minute intervals in Syrian minority cities, all occurring under a media blackout, according to a report
According to a recently released report, the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants, who took control of regions in Syria earlier this month, are persistently targeting cities with significant minority populations. These assaults are accompanied by widespread looting, kidnappings, and assassinations.
A report released on Monday by the Iraqi Almaalomah news agency disclosed that an attack, encompassing acts of looting, kidnapping, assassination, or abduction, is reported every ten minutes. The report, which cited unnamed sources, highlights the persistent security challenges in the region.
“According to the statement, armed groups are carrying out attacks that specifically target minority communities, with a particular focus on coastal regions.”
On December 8, a militant group successfully took control of Damascus, marking the culmination of a rapid military offensive that commenced in Aleppo merely two weeks earlier. This decisive move effectively ended Bashar al-Assad’s 24-year reign.
According to a report by Almaalomah, a series of infractions have been recorded involving militants of the HTS, led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Some of these actions have reportedly been executed as acts of retribution.
Furthermore, the report highlighted instances of verbal abuse and harassment targeting residents of Qardaha, Tartous, Latakia, and surrounding regions.
A report has disclosed that due to an imposed information blackout, media organizations are unable to access nearly 90 percent of on-the-ground information in Syria.
A report has highlighted a potential surge in public unrest in Syria after six protests were documented over a period of two days. This increase in demonstrations may be linked to considerable violations reportedly perpetrated by the al-Julani Brigades and their allied factions.
The administration of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is under increasing scrutiny as accusations arise that its members are failing to adhere to their commitment to honor the rights of minorities and protect religious sites and sanctities within the nation.
In recent days, alarming videos have emerged from Syria, unveiling brutal acts of violence committed by militants targeting minority communities.
The incidents involve severe violence, including fatal shootings and throat-slashings, specifically targeting individuals perceived to be aligned with or close to Assad.
The Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch in Syria declared on Thursday that Christmas and other New Year festivities have been canceled due to “current security conditions” following the collapse of President Assad’s regime.
In a recent development, gunmen launched an assault on the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in Hama on Wednesday, coinciding with reports of vandalism at a nearby cemetery where graves were desecrated.
The incident succeeded the vandalism of the Hagia Sophia Greek Orthodox Church in Suqaylabiyah that took place on December 12.
