Reminder :
The 2013 Latakia offensive (called The Descendants of Aisha, Mother of the Believers by #Salafist #jihadists, and the Operation Liberation of the Coast by the Free Syrian Army ( #FSA) and the so called "moderate rebels" :
Al-Qaeda
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL)
Al-Nusra Front
Free Syrian Army
Syrian Islamic Front
Ahrar ash-Sham
Ansar al-Sham
Syrian Turkmen Brigades
Junud al-Sham
Harakat Sham al-Islam)
was a campaign during the Syrian Civil War launched by rebel groups led by Salafi jihadists in the #Latakia Governorate. The stated aim of the offensive was to conquer al-Haffah city, but government supporters assumed conquering Mount Nabi Younes was more likely the real aim.
A calculated side effect may have been to spark more sectarian violence in #Syria by carrying out a sectarian attack on an #Alawite-majority area.The offensive began in early August 2013

More Than 7,000 Christians And Alawites Killed In Syria, Greek MEP Says | GreekCityNews
"MEP Nikolas Farantouris has returned from the Syrian capital, where he met with religious leaders, including Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and the Near East in #Damascus.
His visit over the weekend coincided as the forces of the Turkish-backed Islamist (#HTS) regime horrifically massacred #Alawites and #Christians, including Greek Orthodox, with the death poll being placed at over 7,000.
“Reliable data indicate 7,000 Christians and Alawites slaughtered and unprecedented atrocities against civilians. Christian and other communities with a millennial presence in this region are at risk of extinction,” Farantouris said in a statement following his visit"
Notes : sources speak of 22.000
& Actually ongoing : Mass arrest campaigns on former Syrian soldiers(#SAA).
Someone could have been forcefully conscripted and now he'll be forcefully arrested by #jihadists.
