Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has called for national unity as violence spikes in Latakia and Tartous, leaving over a thousand dead in recent clashes. The fighting erupted after coordinated attacks by pro-Assad fighters against security forces, leading to revenge killings and an influx of armed supporters backing the new leadership. According to reports, more than 745 Alawite civilians and many government forces have been killed since the conflict escalated. The interim government emphasizes accountability for targeting civilians and has initiated a military operation against remnants of the Assad regime.
"On Sunday morning, al-Sharaa stated the need to preserve national unity and domestic peace; 'we can live together' as newly appointed forces clash with fighters from removed President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect."
"The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that at least 745 Alawite civilians have been killed in Latakia and Tartous since Thursday, as well as about 125 members of the government's security forces..."
"Rest assured about Syria, this country has the characteristics for survival, al-Sharaa said in a video at a mosque in Mazzah, Damascus."
"Colonel Hassan Abdul Ghani, spokesperson for the ministry, said that the second phase of the military operation aimed at pursuing the remnants and officers of the defunct regime."
