There are dozens of images on the internet of Syrian Civilians being massacred. There is a report of an ambush by Alawites in Latakia who attacked and incoming convoy of HTS military and killed 13 soldiers, but this occurred after the massacres began. It was not the reason for the massacres. I will cover this story shortly.
Massacre in Al-Mukhtariyya, Latakia | HTS Militants Kill Dozens of Civilians (Multiple Reports)
A horrific massacre has taken place in the village of Al-Mukhtariyya, Latakia, where HTS militants have brutally killed dozens of civilians, including men, women, and children. Reports describe the attack as a targeted sectarian genocide against the Alawite population.
The scale of the atrocity is devastating, with entire families wiped out and the village left in ruins. This massacre further exposes the sectarian violence perpetrated under the guise of jihad, as Syrian Muslims aligned with HTS continue their campaign of terror against the Alawite community.

Watch this video at your own risk. It is painful and disturbing.
The world remains silent as these crimes unfold. Where is justice for the innocent? SJA.
Syrian Security Forces Accused of Execution Dozens of Alawites
Even the BBC is starting to report this. But the detail comes from Syrians. HTS Massacres on Syria’s Coast Death Toll Reaches 1,800. The HTS-led assault on Syria’s coastal regions has resulted in 1,800 deaths, with the overwhelming majority being Alawite civilians—including women, men, and children—who had no military affiliations, group ties, or criminal records. Most of the victims were executed in targeted killings and mass executions carried out by HTS militants. Video evidence confirms widespread detainments, brutal field executions, and indiscriminate killings as the violence continues to escalate. What Happened Today? How The Escalation Began – SJA report.
- Yesterday HTS militants entered Daliya in a show of force.
- Upon descending into Beit Ana, they began indiscriminately shooting and hurling sectarian insults at Alawite civilians.
- Innocent civilians were martyred, unarmed and defenseless.
- Local resistance rose up to defend their people and homes.
- HTS reinforcements arrived, escalating violence with artillery and mortar shelling on civilian homes.
- HTS helicopters bombed the villages, killing even more civilians.
- The resistance formed groups and launched a counteroffensive, targeting HTS artillery positions and seizing control.
- Astamo Military Airport was overrun, and the Military Council was formed and declared the battle to liberate the coast from HTS terrorists. This was not an act of aggression from the resistance—it was a reaction to massacres committed against civilians.
- HTS Deploys Mass Convoys HTS sent large convoys of militants to Syria’s coastal areas, heavily armed and prepared for mass operations.
- Systematic Roundups & Mass Executions Upon arrival, HTS militants began rounding up Alawite men, detaining them en masse. Reports of mass executions surfaced, with detainees being shot in fields, homes, and public squares. In many cases, entire families were slaughtered, including women and children.
- Looting, Ransacking & Sectarian Violence HTS fighters looted homes, stole property, and burned villages, targeting Alawite-majority areas. Shops and businesses were destroyed, ransacked, or seized by HTS-affiliated gangs.
- Horrific War Crimes Documented Videos show civilians being humiliated, tortured, and executed in cold blood. Bodies littered the streets, as HTS forces continued their advance. In some cases, entire families were wiped out, leaving behind no survivors.
The World Watches in Silence! This is not a battle—it is an ethnic cleansing.
The massacres, executions, and destruction being carried out by HTS mirror some of the darkest crimes in history.
Confirmed – the Russian Hmeimim airbase is sheltering Syrian civilians from the sectarian terrorists of the US-backed alQaeda regime in Damascus.
A photo from inside the air terminal at Hmeimim Airbase shows Syrian civilians seeking shelter from the ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign carried out by HTS-aligned gangs.
Russian forces in Syria have assured the safety of all those who reach the base, providing housing and… https://t.co/lWPbIkhXfG pic.twitter.com/hkNaXGoDRG
