973 civilians killed in recent Syrian massacres

Syrian security forces and allied groups have killed 973 civilians, including women and children, in recent attacks in coastal areas and the Latakia Mountains. This violence primarily targets the Alawite community, which supported former president Bashar al-Assad. The killings began following an ambush and subsequent crackdowns, leading to significant devastation and sectarian violence. This incident is described as one of the largest massacres since Assad's fall.
