A recent report from the Syrian Network for Human Rights highlights that armed groups not fully integrated into the Syrian government were responsible for horrific sectarian massacres in coastal regions, particularly among the Alawite community. The U.S. Secretary of State expressed grave concerns about the killing of civilians and the ongoing violence against minorities. This uptick in violence stems from clashes that ignited following an ambush by pro-Assad militants on security forces, signaling a volatile situation as the Islamist-led interim government clashes with Assad loyalists.
Armed groups linked to the government were mainly responsible for recent sectarian massacres in Syria's coastal region, as noted by a war monitoring group.
The violence in recent days included extrajudicial killings and systematic mass killings motivated by revenge and sectarianism, reflecting deep-rooted tensions.
