HTS Militants’ Deadly Campaign in Syria Exposed: Attacks Every 10 Minutes, Minorities Targeted [Video]

HTS Militants’ Deadly Campaign in Syria Exposed: Attacks Every 10 Minutes, Minorities Targeted

HTS militants have unleashed a terrifying campaign of violence across Syria, with attacks occurring every 10 minutes, primarily targeting minority populations along the coastal regions. Following their rapid takeover on December 8, which ended Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule, the militants have engaged in widespread looting, kidnapping, assassination, and harassment. Areas like Qardaha, Tartous, and Latakia have been hit hardest, with reports of grisly shootings, throat-slashing, and desecration of religious sites. An information blackout has made it difficult to fully document the scale of the devastation, but protests are surging in response to HTS' brutal tactics. This deadly operation has left a nation in fear, with entire communities now living in constant danger. #HTSAttack #SyriaViolence #MinoritiesUnderSiege #SyriaCrisis #HTSMilitants #SyriaTerror #SyriaProtests #ReligiousPersecution #CoastalSyria #SyriaNews #MiddleEastConflict #HTSReignOfTerror #AssadOverthrown #SyriaAtWar #SyriaBlackout Also Read Bashar al Assad's Wife Asma Seeks Divorce, Plans To Relocate To UK With Children: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bashar-al-assads-wife-asma-seeks-divorce-plans-to-relocate-to-uk-with-children-report-4023711.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Future: Insights from the Arab Spring's Democratic Transitions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-future-lessons-from-arab-spring-nations-011-4022149.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Confirms Troop Presence in Syrian Buffer Zone for Security Reasons :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-occupation-buffer-zone-syria-security-011-4018801.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.318~ED.194~GR.124~

Tensions are escalating as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intensifies his stance on the Golan Heights, provoking Syrian militant leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) have refused to pull back from the strategically critical "buffer zone" inside the Syrian Golan Heights, despite growing international pressure. This decision, signaling Israel’s firm grip on the region, has raised fears of a new Israeli-Syrian conflict.
