Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported attacks on Alawite civilians by unknown gunmen in Syria, despite the new government’s efforts to bring armed groups under control. The attacks are believed to be carried out by small-scale cells of Assad loyalists, with some showing coordination and planning.
Recently, a group calling itself the “Military Council for the Liberation of Syria” issued a statement declaring its plan to overthrow the new leadership. The group, led by a former general from the Assad regime’s Fourth Division, has released videos and claimed responsibility for attacks on security forces.
The government has responded by deploying security forces and imposing curfews in Latakia and Tartus, urging armed remnants of the Assad government to surrender. Syria’s intelligence head, Anas Khattab, blamed former military leaders from the Assad regime with the support of “fugitives” outside the country for the violence.
The situation remains unstable in Syria’s western coast region, with ongoing violence and threats from pro-Assad armed groups. Reports indicate that while some militants have surrendered, others continue to fight against the new government. The Syrian Ministry of Defense has warned militants to surrender their weapons or face the consequences.
The government’s efforts to restore order in the region include conducting “combing operations” and urging armed groups to lay down their weapons. The conflict highlights the challenges faced by the new government in controlling armed factions and maintaining stability in the country.
