What are coastal events?
3 days ago ambushes and attacks against general security started in the Syrian coast (Latakia and Tartous governates) killing 50 GS members. The army was deployed and many ordinary people mobilized to help the army.
The majority of residents in the coast are Alawites, the sect Bashar Al-Assad was from. There were many cases of sectarian attacks and massacres against Alawites by extremists in the army or the people who mobilized there. Last time I checked the toll was at 1000 civilians killed.
