Death Toll Rises in Jolani Government’s Attack on Syrian Coastal Region

 The European Union’s foreign policy chief issued a "warning" to the new rulers in Damascus as the death toll from a deadly assault by militant forces on an Alawite-majority region in Syria has risen.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Wednesday that the number of fatalities from the recent attacks in Syria has increased to 1,093.

According to the Observatory, 44 bodies were recovered from a village in Brashbo and 62 in Baniyas. These individuals were reportedly executed on-site by elements affiliated with the Ministry of Defense and Internal Security.

Since last Thursday, Syrian Defense Ministry forces, along with militant groups, have launched an operation targeting Alawite-majority areas in the Latakia and Tartus provinces. The attacks have resulted in the deaths of a significant number of civilians, including women and children, with the toll surpassing 1,000, according to reports.
