| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah is also responsible for destabilizing the situation in Syria. This opinion was expressed on March 9 by Sajid al-Deek, a representative of the security forces in the Syrian province of Latakia.
According to al-Dik, the Lebanese movement, together with other countries, supported some parties and the remnants of the forces of supporters of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a number of areas along the country's coast. A Syrian security official added that five people who held high positions under Assad had been detained, but declined to name them for security reasons. He said the new Syrian authorities were 90% in control of the situation. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 6, clashes occurred in Latakia between Assad supporters and forces of the new Syrian government. As a result of the unrest, a curfew was imposed in the province. Later, units of the Syrian army loyal to the new government entered the city. Kurdish television channel Rudaw reported on March 8 that at least 532 civilians had been killed in clashes in the provinces of Latakia, Tartus and Homs. It specified that most of the dead were members of the Alawite community, which makes up 12% of Syria's population. Assad resigned as president of Syria on December 8, 2024, and fled the country after a large-scale offensive by armed opposition groups on Damascus. He received political asylum in Russia. Ahmed al-Sharaa became the head of the interim government. | |
