Syria's renewed violence involves clashes and curfews imposed

Syria is experiencing renewed violence, with clashes between government forces and loyalists of ousted leader Bashar al-Assad. Reports indicate that over 70 people have died, including security personnel, in attacks in the coastal region of Jableh. For the first time, the new government has deployed helicopters armed with machine guns to combat the loyalist militias. A curfew has been imposed in the cities of Latakia and Tartous, where protests and violence have escalated. The interim government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, faces challenges in uniting the country after years of civil war. While it has received some international support, tensions remain high, particularly among the Alawite community, which has been affected by the ongoing conflict.
