The week of March 6–12, 2025, witnessed a coordinated and catastrophic assault on #Alawite communities across Syria's Mediterranean coast. Attackers descended on at least 56 villages throughout the #Latakia and #Tartous countryside. These massacres were supported and directed by the jihadist de facto authority led by Ahmad al-Shar’a (Abu Muhammad al-Julani).

The assault involved Islamist factions, including al-Hamzat, al-Amshat, pro-Turkish #Syrian National Army factions, and foreign fighters operating under the broader Military Operations Command (MOC) linked to #HTS.

The attacks were marked by the mass execution of men, the kidnapping of women, widespread looting, the burning of homes and agricultural land, and the destruction of Alawite religious sites. In the village of Brabshbu, all males were reportedly executed. Similar massacres were documented in Snobar, Jableh, and numerous other communities across the coast.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights documented at least 1,662 deaths during this period, including 1,217 people killed by forces linked to the new authorities and 445 by Assad-regime remnants. Other estimates place the Alawite civilian death toll substantially higher. Thousands fled their homes, and many sought refuge in neighboring Lebanon. The Alawite Islamic Council publicly attributed responsibility for the violence to the authorities, while Christian Solidarity International issued a Genocide Warning on March 12, 2025.

What occurred in March 2025 was not the chaos of political transition. It was organized, ideologically driven mass violence against civilians targeted because of their religious identity. The perpetrators arrived in organized convoys, announced their intentions "jihad", and carried out killings village by village.

The massacres of March 2025 did not end in March. The killings, enforced disappearances, kidnappings, forced displacement, property seizures, sectarian incitement, and attacks on civilians continue. What began on the Syrian coast has become a slow-moving genocide against the Alawite community.

The absence of accountability, an independent international investigation, and meaningful international action has allowed these crimes to continue while thousands remain missing and countless families remain displaced.

#Syria: University of Damascus | Faculty of Medicine: Al-Dhahabi, the Egyptian Salafi extremist, launches a new campaign to promote the niqab on campus, alongside a Salafi "dawa= Preaching" campaign held in an auditorium at the Faculty of Medicine.

While the #STG does not run these campaigns directly, it clearly enables them. It allows figures like Al-Dhahabi to operate freely, provides them with facilities and official permits, and ensures they have security protection.

Syrian activists from the Sunni community Shouldn't stay silent on this. These Salafi dawa campaigns may have limited impact on minority communities, but their long-term damage and consequences to the Sunni community itself is a far more concerning.

Minorities are already suppressed under this Islamist jihadist dictatorship, that would be true with or without the spread of Salafism. But introducing Salafi dawa into the broader Sunni community is a different matter entirely.

It risks locking future generations into decades of extremism and social rigidity, with all the consequences that follow.

And let’s be clear: this is not religious freedom. Running an organized, well-funded Salafi dawa campaign that specifically targets youth and draws them in by offering free clothing, books and sometimes a free shelter is something else altogether.

This is Hamza Ibrahim Al-Sarem, a 12-year-old #Alawite child from a poor family in rural #Hama.

He disappeared 14 days ago after leaving his village to sell wild herbs and help support his family. Since then, there has been no information about his fate. His parents continue to publicly plead for help finding their son.

But Hamza's case is not an isolated incident.

Many #Alawites fear for their safety amid ongoing reports of killings, kidnappings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, sectarian incitement, and discrimination targeting minority communities in #Syria. There are also persistent of women being abducted, families being displaced, and communities being denied basic security and equal rights.

What makes Hamza's disappearance especially alarming is the environment in which it occurred.

Across social media and through some religious and political voices, Alawites have been publicly portrayed as "infidels" and subjected to campaigns calling for their exclusion, boycott, and removal from public life. Slogans such as "Leave — you are not a tree" have been used to pressure minorities to abandon their homes and communities.

What is taking place is not simply discrimination, but a systematic campaign of fear, dispossession, and forced demographic change aimed at removing Alawite communities from Syria.

Whether one agrees with that assessment or not, no child should disappear without answers.

The world should know Hamza's name and ask one simple question:

Where is Hamza Ibrahim Al-Sarem?

#Syria | #Saydnaya: A state supported campaign to demonize Christians in Saydnaya causes sectarian tension in the Christian majority town.

A large incitement campaign was waged against the Christian community of Saydnaya following the discovery of a mass grave containing the bodies of jihadists killed during their attack on Saydnaya years ago during the civil war.

The discovery of this mass grave has given Islamist accounts affiliated with the STG a pretext to attack and accuse the community of the historic town of being regime remnants and accomplices to what they described as "regime crimes against Muslims", despite the fact it had been a refuge for thousands of Sunni civilians who fled the combat hotspots from surrounding towns for years providing them with homes to settle in with food and aid.

This incitement campaign on social media was accompanied by increased media coverage of the incident by state and state affiliated media, exposing a relation between state media and these accounts being prompted by the same actors.

This coincides with a major sectarian incitement and violence targeting minorities, the Alawites in particular, and Sunnis who remained in regime held areas, that has caused a wave of mobs violence and vandalism across Syria that spanned for days with incitement showing no signs of slowing down. This situation has added to the already existing anxiety and fear within the Christian community worrying that it will be next on the list of targets for Islamist violence.

ISIS has significantly reorganized itself across the entire area of Al-Shaddadi, the countryside of Al-Hasakah, Raqqa, and Deir ez-Zor, as well as in Palmyra and its surrounding areas, Homs, Tal Hamis, and also Tal Barak between Qamishli and Al-Hasakah.

After the security vacuum and the takeover of these areas by the (Damascus) al-Qaeda government, ISIS has already taken control of some areas and reorganized itself following the opening of some prisons and camps that had housed ISIS fighters and their families.

The large-scale and organized attacks confirm the extent to which it has regained strength.

The alarm bells are ringing.

Jihadists affiliated with Syria’s new jihadist-led de facto regime have filmed themselves forcing Christians and other non-Muslims to kneel on the ground, stepping on them, and making them bark like dogs—all for the purpose of humiliating and degrading them.

First they came for the Alawites, and I did not speak out, because I was not an Alawite.
Then they came for the Druze, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Druze.
Then they came for the Kurds, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Kurd.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
