Live ticker to Middle East & Syria: Escalation in Syria: More than 1000 deaths in fighting

Three months after the change of power in Syria, according to activists, several hundred people were killed or injured in fighting between security forces and supporters of the fallen long-term ruler Bashar al-Assad. According to activists, a total of more than 1000 people have been killed in massacres and battles.

Among them are 745 civilians, 125 members of the Syrian security forces and 148 fighters who face Assad Loyal, the Observatory for Human Rights, based in Great Britain. It was the worst violent acts for years, said the leader, Rami Abdulrahman. Women and children are also among the victims. The civilians were killed in a way “which does not differ from the operations of the security forces of the former regime – a collective act of retaliation,” said a report by the observation center. The western coastal regions are considered to be a stronghold of the Alawites, a religious community, which also belongs to the fallen ruler Bashar al-Assad. The observation center accused the Islamist interim government of war crimes. Representatives of the new leadership have granted violations during the operation. They blame for unorganized masses of civilians and fighters who have tried to support the official security forces or to commit crimes in the chaos of fighting. However, the extent of the violence that is reported stirs up further doubts as to whether the Islamist rulers are able to rule Syria with regard to all population groups. Dozens of Alawites are said to have been executed in a village. The Ministry of Defense said on Saturday that tried to restore calm and order and prevent any attacks on civilians in the coastal region. State media reported, citing the ministry, that all access roads were closed to the coast. Residents of the coastal region said that thousands of Alawites and Christians had left their houses out of fear for their lives since Thursday.
