«We are following with great concern the deteriorating situation on the Syrian coast and the accompanying dangerous escalation that directly affects innocent civilians, especially women and children. We stress the need to protect all civilians and spare them the scourge of conflict, and we stress that peaceful solutions and dialogue are the only way to overcome crises»
Co-chair of the Department of Foreign Relations of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of the North and East Syria Regio wrote on X in Kurdish language.
«Syrians of all affiliations have suffered from long periods of injustice, and repression has never excluded any sect in Syria, and the former regime left behind a dark legacy of revenge that deepened divisions. We call on all Syrians to resort to the language of reason and dialogue and reject any approach that seeks to punish an entire sect under the name of “remnants of the regime.” We also hope that the authorities in Damascus will stop the advance immediately. The continuation of violence will only lead to more tragedies».
Various Arab media outlets reported that Islamist forces have begun artillery and drone attacks around the city of Baniyas, creating widespread panic among the civilian population. Drone strikes specifically targeted mountainous and forested areas where civilians might seek refuge. Reports also confirm tank shelling throughout the coastal region.
Abdulrahman clarified that the 148 armed individuals killed in the coastal region were not “remnants of the Assad regime” as claimed by authorities, but rather Alawite fighters who had previously served in the now-collapsed Assad military. He further revealed that regime forces have burned tens of thousands of homes belonging to Alawite community members. The director also noted that on Thursday evening, activists within the forces openly called for the slaughter of Alawites.
More Than 1,000 People, Mostly Civilians, Killed In Crackdown On Syria’s Coast
More than 1,000 people have been killed in two days of clashes between the forces of Syria’s Islamist government and fighters from the Alawite minority on the country’s coast, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on March 8.
A rebellion broke out on the Syrian coast on March 6 following a series of violations by government forces and affiliated militias against the Alawites, with officers from the former Syrian Arab Army leading the move. The Alawites, an offshoot of Islam Shiite, are Syria’s largest minority group. The family of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad belongs to the sect.

The rebels saw initial success in Latakia, Qardaha, Jableh, Banias and Tartus. However, they were overpowered by government forces which brought in large reinforcements on March 7. For the next two days, a series of massacres against Alawites civilians were reported.
According to the latest count by the SOHR, 745 civilians have been killed in at least 29 different massacres so far, with Alawites making the vast majority of the victimes. The London-based monitoring group said that 125 members of the Syrian government forces and 148 rebels have also been killed.
Russia opened its Khmeimim Air Base near Jableh for some seven thousand Alawites refugees
Responding to the events, Russia opened its Khmeimim Air Base near Jableh for some seven thousand Alawites refugees and called on all “respected” leaders of the country to stop the bloodshed. Israel also slammed the Syrian government for the killings.
Meanwhile, Turkey and most Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, voiced their support for the Syrian government. The European Union also appeared to have sided with the government in a recent statement addressing the situation on the country’s coast.
Despite the high civilian death count, Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, said on March 8 that the current developments were within “expected Challenges.”
The United States has not yet weighed on the situation on the Syrian coast. Unlike the former Joe Biden administration, the administration of President Donlad Trump has shown little to no interest in engaging with the Syrian government.
Considering that many key figures of the administration, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, have already voiced their concern over the Islamist nature of the Syrian government and its links to al-Qaeda, it is possible that Trump could take a hardline position against al-Sharaa.
Figures close to Trump, like his personal advisor Elon Musk and journalist Tucker Carlson, have talked about the killings on the Syrian coast. And while it is far-fetched to expect the U.S. to intervene militarily, Washington could give the green light to Israel to take action.

Many Alawite activists have already called on Israel to intervene, citing the lack of any international interest in their cause and the lack of any regional efforts to end the government’s crackdown.
Israel has already spread its influence over Syria’s southern region under the pretext of protecting its security and guarding the Druze minority. Many Israeli officials have also called for the decentralization of Syria. If the Syrian government continues with its current discriminatory policies, this will be the most likely outcome.
