The week of March 6–12, 2025, witnessed a coordinated and catastrophic assault on
#Alawite communities across Syria's Mediterranean coast. Attackers descended on at least 56 villages throughout the
#Latakia and
#Tartous countryside. These massacres were supported and directed by the jihadist de facto authority led by Ahmad al-Shar’a (Abu Muhammad al-Julani).
The assault involved Islamist factions, including al-Hamzat, al-Amshat, pro-Turkish
#Syrian National Army factions, and foreign fighters operating under the broader Military Operations Command (MOC) linked to
#HTS.
The attacks were marked by the mass execution of men, the kidnapping of women, widespread looting, the burning of homes and agricultural land, and the destruction of Alawite religious sites. In the village of Brabshbu, all males were reportedly executed. Similar massacres were documented in Snobar, Jableh, and numerous other communities across the coast.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights documented at least 1,662 deaths during this period, including 1,217 people killed by forces linked to the new authorities and 445 by Assad-regime remnants. Other estimates place the Alawite civilian death toll substantially higher. Thousands fled their homes, and many sought refuge in neighboring Lebanon. The Alawite Islamic Council publicly attributed responsibility for the violence to the authorities, while Christian Solidarity International issued a Genocide Warning on March 12, 2025.
What occurred in March 2025 was not the chaos of political transition. It was organized, ideologically driven mass violence against civilians targeted because of their religious identity. The perpetrators arrived in organized convoys, announced their intentions "jihad", and carried out killings village by village.
The massacres of March 2025 did not end in March. The killings, enforced disappearances, kidnappings, forced displacement, property seizures, sectarian incitement, and attacks on civilians continue. What began on the Syrian coast has become a slow-moving genocide against the Alawite community.
The absence of accountability, an independent international investigation, and meaningful international action has allowed these crimes to continue while thousands remain missing and countless families remain displaced.
