US EditionSyrian security forces monitored armed civilians who killed Alawites, accused man says
- In early March 2025, multiple armed groups carried out sectarian killings targeting Alawite civilians in the coastal village of Sanobar, Syria, under monitoring by Syrian government forces.
- The violence followed coordinated attacks on new security units by former regime loyalists, which escalated existing sectarian tensions and prompted a government call for support from militia and armed civilians.
- Survivors reported witnessing masked men in green uniforms execute family members, while General Security Forces admitted some of their members were involved but arrested those responsible to restore order.
- A video showed Abu Khalid, an armed civilian detained by military police, shooting 64-year-old Mahmoud Yusef Mohammed six times outside his home despite no visible weapon, contradicting his claim that Mahmoud was an insurgent.
- The government formed a special investigative committee, arrested about 30 suspects, and vowed to hold all accountable, as human rights groups call for justice to protect minorities and secure Syria’s fragile future.
