At least 16 members of Syria's security forces were killed on Thursday in clashes with militants linked to Bashar al-Assad's ousted regime, according to a monitor group, in one of the worst eruptions of violence since the country's new administration under interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa came into power.

Clashes between forces aligned with the new Damascus administration and gunmen loyal to Assad erupted in Syria's Jableh region, part of the coastal area which forms the heartland of the Alawite minority sect to which the Assad family belongs.

The death toll "following attacks and ambushes by gunmen loyal to Assad in the town of Jableh and its surrounding areas increased to 16 members of the security forces", the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that they were "the most violent attacks against the new authorities since Assad was toppled".

The coastal region has emerged as one of the main security challenges for interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa as his government works to consolidate control.

Syria's state news agency SANA, citing a defence ministry source, said "remnants of Assad's militias" had attacked in several areas in a unified way. Reinforcements were on their way to the Jableh area to support security forces, it said.

Earlier this week, two members of the defence ministry were killed in the city of Latakia by groups identified by state media as Assad militia remnants.

Here we go again. This is the mindset of your typical Islamic extremist, fight, war, and destruction. Never a thought for building up their nation or fostering progress. After blowing themselves to bits and laying waste to their own lands, they have the audacity to point fingers at others for the chaos they’ve wrought.

Even if there were only two Islamic extremists left, they’d still find some twisted justification to wage war. Meanwhile, Israel stands as the beacon of sanity in the Middle East, encircled by terrorists and fanatics. The moment Israel defends itself or capture their territory, these radicals cry “genocide,” yet their own violence knows no borders, it spills out, infecting everything in its path, like a disease. Their violence is never contained. They always find a way to export it.

franchasng:
Islamists and violence.

Moslems all over the world need to ask themselves serious questions

madridguy:
This is not about Islam bro.

franchasng:
It's about Islam.


If we have 1,000 Moslem countries in the world, 750 to 800 of them are at war or in chaos or ravaged by Islamic terrorism, true or false?



The truth is, Islamic doctrines and real teachings encourages violence and terrorism, and gives little or no room for forgiveness, love and peace.



If not for the introduction of the New Testament in the Bible too, Christians would have been as radical and violent as Moslems but the introduction of New Testament which teaches Christians to live their lives like Jesus Christ which borders around love and forgiveness made Christians to be cool headed and reason the world is enjoying a relative peace today. Wherever Islam grows, chaos, suppression, human right violation, women oppression, radicalism, extremism and lack of freedom grows.



That's why Sharia law is not good, it calls for an eye for an eye, and that's what Islam is truly about, no room for peace, love and forgiveness. An eye for an eye

NobleStag007:
Your ignorance is overloaded

madridguy:
What is happening is not about Shariah or not. The government who has been occupying Syrian oil fields since 2014 is to be blamed for the whole thing. Syria just like Libya are living in peace until a particular country wake up and say they need a new world order.

So don't blame Islam.

madridguy:
When do you suddenly developed love for the Muslims? You are pained your thugs are dying like dogs hence your cry. Leave Syrians alone and stop caring about them.

Botragelad:
“Peaceful”? like Syria under the Assad regime’s chemical weapons, torture chambers, and decades of oppression. Yeah, that's very peaceful, or was it Gaddafi’s sponsorship of global terrorism. Were you alive to witness all that in the 80s?

Syria’s civil war began in 2011, years before the U.S. even sniffed its oil fields. Funny how authoritarianism and jihadist proxies (Hezbollah, Iran’s IRGC) destabilized Syria long before American “occupation”.😂

Please, do pretend Islam is blameless here. When ISIS, a group that explicitly rooted its caliphate in Islamic theology, carved up Syria, it wasn’t about oil. It was about enforcing sharia. Hamas, too, isn’t firing rockets at Israeli kindergartens for “oil”, they’re doing it because their charter literally calls for Israel’s destruction in the name of Islam. But sure,very easy to blame ExxonMobil instead rather than take responsibility.

Why do you think the term “jihad” appears in both the Quran and the propaganda of every modern terror group? Coincidence?
Now, if you say Syria was “peaceful” pre-2014, why did Assad slaughter thousands of civilians in Hama in 1982 decades before the Arab Spring? Where's your condemnation?

madridguy:
You just wrote long jargons to deceive yourself and also people like you. Every terrorists groups in the world are always recruited, trained, nurtured and finance by the C.I.A

Immediately any government didn't take other from them they starts scheming how to remove the government.

Assaad regime is not 100% clean but far better than the terrorist the US government once declared as a terrorist and suddenly embrace him and start having meetings with him. The guy was on the watchlist with one million bounty on his head but is now the US government new bride.

Ghaddaffi never sponsors any terrorism, his only offence was given Libyans good life without taking loan from IMF or other loan sharks.

Botragelad:
Why did you ignore my questions, girl? 😂
Tells how scared you are when I expose terrorism.

Kindly tell us how the CIA is out there sponsoring every jihadist, extremist, and terrorist group on the planet. That’s quite the impressive workload for one agency! So, does the CIA also handle their social media accounts and PR strategies? Because ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah seem to have their ideology. Or are we supposed to believe the CIA is simultaneously fighting terrorism and funding it? Haha.

Since you claim the CIA is behind every terrorist group, why did they spend billions fighting Al-Qaeda and ISIS? Was that just to keep us entertained? ?

Bashar al-Assad is just a misunderstood guy who occasionally gased his own people and bombs hospitals, but, at least he’s not a terrorist, right?
Did you forget that his regime killed hundreds of thousands of Syrians, displaced millions, and turned Syria into a playground for Iran and Russia.
Why did his regime create the conditions for groups like ISIS to thrive in the first place? And why did he rely on Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization, to stay in power? Is that what you call “clean governance”? 🤷🏼

Never mind the Lockerbie bombing, Gadaffis support for the IRA, or his funding of terrorist groups across Africa. He even took responsibility
His own people rose up against him in 2011. Were they just ungrateful, or what. How can be so anti-terrorism, while cozying up to groups like the PLO and the Abu Nidal Organization?

What’s your brilliant solution for dealing with terrorist groups? Should the US just ignore them and hope they go away?
And, Yes, the US has made questionable alliances in the past, welcome to geopolitics, where the enemy of your enemy is sometimes your friend. You act like this is unique to the US. Every nation, including Syria, Iran, and Russia, has made shady deals to advance its interests.

madridguy:
As I have been saying, you just intentionally writing a very long epistle to cover your lies.

Answer to your long epistle is " Timber Sycamore " google it and have your answer there.

Botragelad:
Lol. Why do you keep running away from my previous questions.

Okay, Timber Sycamore is your answer, why then did Assad’s regime, with the help of Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah turn Syria into a graveyard long before the CIA got involved?
Kindly provide an evidence to the contrary!

The moslems would blame every other persons except themselves for the mess they themselves unleashed...

In as much as Islam is a cancer to the world. Syria and the middle east were relatively peaceful before the terrorist NATO/CIA came with their coloured revolution. There's no country at war without CIA/US/NATO involvement. Coincidentally, Islam and Arabs are just but a fertile ground...
