At a time when news is circulated almost daily about the discovery of mass graves in various areas of Syria dating back to the period of the previous regime, private sources revealed to Sweida Press the existence of three mass graves in "New Syria" where the bodies of dozens of civilians from Sweida were buried following the invasion by the Transitional Authority forces in mid-July .
The media sphere recently saw the circulation of video clips containing clear and direct threats to the State of Israel, issued by factions close to, or within, the government of Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. This escalation is not merely a show of force; it is an affirmation of a profound shift in Jolani's strategy: moving the compass of Jihad from fighting the Syrian regime toward Jerusalem and challenging Israel's regional security. These steps reignite the jihadist sentiment and indicate that Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is no longer a local Syrian project, but is aspiring to a leading role in a wider regional conflict.
The Syrian conflict has entered a phase defined not only by territorial control but by a systematic campaign of societal re-engineering. One of its most insidious manifestations is the targeted persecution of students from minority backgrounds within academic institutions, orchestrated to create an environment so hostile that forced displacement becomes the only perceived option.
The period from December 1 to 7, 2025, has cast a stark and troubling shadow over the areas of western and central Syria. This week was marked not by a single event, but by a relentless wave of diverse security incidents—bombings, kidnappings, targeted killings, vandalism, and armed attacks—unfurling across multiple governorates.
The Western Syria Development Organization (WSD) has issued an official legal statement in response to the inaccurate allegations published by Reuters on December 5, 2025, which claimed the organization has improper funding connections. The statement was explicit and decisive in refuting these claims and defending the organization's reputation and humanitarian mission.
In the coastal city of Tartous, a 70-year-old man's struggle to make ends meet as a taxi driver nearly cost him his life yesterday, not for political reasons, but simply for being born Alawite.
Under the explicit directive of Ahmed al-Shar', the head of the de facto authority in Syria, rallies spread across most provinces under his control, including Damascus, Daraa, Idlib, and other cities. These demonstrations, which emerged to celebrate the anniversary of the so-called "Operation to Repel Aggression," were framed under slogans of national unity and the rejection of partition schemes. However, the reality on the ground told a completely different story—one of forced participation, blatant sectarian incitement, and a dubious manipulation of public sentiment.
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Western Syria Development Organization Syria today sounded the alarm over a series of violent attacks carried out over the last seventy-two hours in the city of Homs, where armed bands operating under the protection of the Jolani regime conducted what witnesses have described as pogrom-style assaults on Alawite and Christian neighborhoods, as well as in Latakia, Baniyas, and Tartous.
LATAKIA, Syria, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Syrian security forces used gunfire on Tuesday to break up two rival groups of demonstrators in the coastal town of Latakia, heartland of the country's Alawite minority, witnesses and officials said.
In a significant development with potential to transform Syria's complex social fabric, cities and towns across central and western Syria witnessed large-scale peaceful demonstrations on November 25, 2025. Dubbed the "Peaceful Alawite Uprising," these protests, centered in the governorates of Homs, Tartus, Lattakia, and Hama, represent a pivotal moment stemming from calls within the Alawite community itself to end the violence perpetrated by the de facto authority against religious minorities and to pursue radical political restructuring.
Syria is currently witnessing a systematic sectarian escalation that threatens to tear apart its social fabric. The wave of violence targeting religious communities is expanding from Homs to Damascus and Lattakia, painting a grim picture of a danger that threatens the entire country.
The 2025 massacres against Alawites, Druze, and Christians shattered the trust of minorities in the new Syrian regime. Despite his denials, Ahmad al-Sharaa finds it difficult to separate himself from the atrocities committed by HTS. Caught between revenge-fueled sectarianism, social hostility, and the fear of decline, Syria is once again trapped in a cycle of exclusion and exodus.
