(5MinNewsBreak.com) – In a haunting resurgence of brutality in Syria, over 1,000 civilians, including many from the beleaguered Alawite community, have been killed in the past few days.

As the violence escalates, this grim toll serves as a stark reminder of the bloody consequences of prolonged conflict.
With Bashar al-Assad’s regime toppled, Syria finds itself grappling with devastating sectarian violence.
Hundreds have perished amid fierce contractions between the current government and ex-President Assad’s loyalists.
The death toll is concerning, marking the deadliest wave of violence since Assad’s fall three months ago.
Alawite communities, traditionally as Assad’s primary support base, are suffering immensely in these onslaughts.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports 1,018 deaths in just two days, with 745 of them being civilians.
Violence now grips Syria’s western coast, centered around Latakia and Tartus, former regime strongholds.
Revenge killings, reports of looting, and arson have led to mass displacements, further destabilizing the region.
Residents are trapped in a deadly cycle of aggression, fear, and deprivation, compounded by power and water outages that have crippled essential services.
Despite the dire situation, few international interventions are present.
Meanwhile, forces loyal to Assad previously ambushed government troops, igniting a vicious circle of retaliation.
This has plunged the region into further chaos, with the interim leader, Ahmed Al-Shara, urging for peace and condemning the violence.
“More than 1,300 people in Syria have been killed — many believed to be civilians — in the span of three days amid intense fighting between forces associated with Syria’s new government and those loyal to the deposed dictator Bashar al-Assad, according to a human rights group,” reports NPR.
These incidents highlight a critical gap in protection for minorities, particularly the Alawites, under the new leadership of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
There is an urgent call for restraint and a pathway to accountability and transitional justice to ensure that all Syrians can move towards a peaceful political transition.
