Many "semi-unverified" reports are flooding the networks from Syria, and even over the border with Lebanon. We are trying to bring these reports together with a sort of interim summary.
LATAKIA UNDER FIRE AS RESISTANCE GAINS GROUND
Latakia has become the epicenter of escalating violence in Syria. In a significant development, a HTS Regime helicopter attacking Assad’s forces was shot down, and the pilots were captured. Meanwhile, the Syrian Navy in Latakia has now fallen back under the control of Assad's forces, shifting the balance of power in the coastal region.
The so-called "Coast Guard Brigade" has issued a call for Druze and Kurds to join the resistance against the Assad regime, signaling a potential expansion of the conflict. The Syrian resistance also reportedly took control of Brigade 107 in Latakia, further challenging the Syrian government’s hold on the region.
