Ambush Near Tartous Kills 14 Syrian Security Personnel in Clash with Ousted Assad Loyalist Forces

A deadly ambush near Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartous resulted in 14 interior ministry personnel killed and 10 injured. The attack was attributed to loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. It occurred during an operation to apprehend a former officer linked to the notorious Saydnaya prison. Three loyalists also lost their lives in the clash. This comes weeks after rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ousted Assad, ending decades of family rule. HTS promised to protect minorities but faces global designation as a terrorist group. Tensions continue to rise across the country. #SyriaConflict, #TartousAttack, #RebelForces, #BasharAlAssad, #HTSRebels, #MiddleEastCrisis, #SyriaAmbush, #HumanRights, #GlobalPolitics, #ConflictNews #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Bashar al-Assad's Wife Battles Leukemia Amid Divorce Reports, Has 50-50 Chance of Survival: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bashar-al-assads-wife-battles-leukemia-amid-divorce-reports-has-50-50-chance-of-survival-report-4026053.html?ref=DMDesc Clashes Between Islamist Fighters and Assad Supporters in Syria Result in Six Fatalities :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/clashes-between-islamists-and-assad-supporters-syria-011-4025983.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~HT.318~PR.362~ED.194~GR.122~
