In a recent surge of violence, over 1,300 people have been killed in Syria within three days, greatly impacting civilians amid ongoing fighting between the new government and loyalist forces of Bashar al-Assad. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports 830 civilian deaths, alongside significant losses among security forces and Alawite militants, with many deaths classified as executions. The violence, particularly in Latakia province, has intensified following the killing of government forces by Alawite gunmen, prompting curfews and military reinforcements. The situation reflects the challenges facing the new government and highlights ongoing sectarian tensions.
The conflict's intensity has led to a staggering civilian death toll, with over 1,300 people killed, as violence escalates amid fighting for control in Syria.
With reports of killings and displacement, the conflict poses the biggest test for Syria's new government since it took power following the Assad regime's fall.
