Syrian security forces are engaged in a conflict with armed supporters of former President Bashar al-Assad in the Latakia region. According to the police chief, the city of Latakia has been secured, however, the war monitor reports over 70 fatalities in the clashes. The Assad family, primarily from the Alawite minority sect, dominated Syrian politics for nearly a century. The recent fighting, which has been occurring over the past two days, is believed by Syrian officials to be the result of support from the former regime's remnants, predominantly composed of the Alawite community.

    1. We will restore stability to the region and protect the property of our people.

    1. We warn again of the dire consequences of continuing treachery, and we confirm that anyone who refuses to hand over his weapon to the state will face a decisive response without leniency.
    2. Do not become fuel for a lost war… The choice is clear: surrender your weapons or face your inevitable fate.
    1. Such provocations must not be allowed to become a threat to the peace of Syria and our region.
    1. We were besieged for about 12 hours in one of Latakia's neighborhoods, with remnants of militants spreading all around us. I didn't expect we'd make it out alive.
