The General Security apparatus of the de facto authority, acting as a protector of supporters of the transitional terrorist authority, carried out an attack on members of the Alawite community in the Al-Azhari neighborhood of Latakia city.

This attack constitutes a blatant violation of civilian rights on a sectarian basis, highlighting the direct role of the apparatus in facilitating and covering the assaults without providing any protection to the victims, within a context of systematic violence and impunity.

The Al-Jamal and Al-Din neighborhoods in Latakia were subjected to organized sectarian attacks, in which attackers loyal to the de facto terrorist authority destroyed vehicles and commercial shops, and targeted civilians and their property on a sectarian basis, amid a complete absence of protection or deterrence.

According to eyewitnesses, the attack on Al-Din neighborhood began from the Al-Istrad side, where local youth blocked the road using trash containers as barricades to try to prevent the attackers’ advance.

At the same time, the attackers stormed the other side of the neighborhood, Al-Jamal, using loudspeakers to chant sectarian slogans against members of the Alawite community, while also firing heavily at homes and private property.

Eyewitnesses added that the attackers destroyed surveillance cameras of the shops, vandalized property, and caused widespread destruction in the area, reflecting the organized and violent nature of the attacks against civilians and their property, and confirming the systematic sectarian character of these assaults.

The city of Latakia witnessed sectarian attacks, during which attackers loyal to the terrorist transitional de facto authority carried out the following violations:
• Destruction of commercial shops belonging to members of the Alawite community.
• Live gunfire directed at the homes of Alawite civilians.

These violations reflect the systematic nature of the attack against civilians and their property on a sectarian basis, occurring in a context marked by the absence of protection, accountability, or any effective deterrent.

Verified footage documents the aftermath of an attack carried out by affiliates of the de facto terrorist authority against neighborhoods with an Alawite majority in the city of Latakia, specifically at the Project Intersection leading toward Al-Azhari Roundabout.

These scenes reflect the extent of destruction inflicted on residential areas and the severe human and material consequences suffered by civilians and their property, within the context of a coordinated sectarian attack targeting defenseless civilian neighborhoods.
