Amid chants of “Allahu Akbar,” jihadists elements of the Ministry of Defense of the de facto authority—an extremist entity—led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (Ahmad al-Sharaa), with the participation of tribal groups loyal to the authority and foreign fighters referred to as “the Muhajireen and the Ansar,” carried out mass summary executions at point-blank range against civilians from the Kurdish community. These acts were accompanied by the burning of victims’ bodies and severe mutilation.

One widely circulated video shows the perpetrators, following the killings and burnings, making mocking remarks, including: “What beautiful grills these are.” They also cut off the ear of one victim and commented sarcastically, “We cut off his ear so he becomes well-behaved,” in addition to other acts of desecration and abuse of corpses.

The facts demonstrate that these elements—whose origins, history, and ideological structure trace back to ISIS—committed these crimes in a manner consistent with the massacres perpetrated in Suwayda, the Syrian coast, and other parts of Syrian territory.

The executions were accompanied by racist and inciteful insults against Kurds, including degrading slurs, labeling the victims as “pigs” and “infidels,” and explicit calls for killing and damnation. Such conduct constitutes public incitement to violence and extermination and reflects a clear criminal intent rooted in ethnic and religious hatred.

This documentation is classified among grave violations that require the opening of an independent international investigation and the accountability of all those involved, including those who ordered and carried out the crimes, as well as anyone who provided cover, facilitation, or support, participated in incitement, concealed the crimes, or failed to prevent them despite possessing the legal and practical capacity to do so.
