Eid Celebrations After Baniyas Butcher Arrest
Meraj Oral, known as the Butcher of Baniyas, the official responsible for the horrific massacres in the areas of Albiaa and Ras al-Naba in the Syrian city of Baniyas in 2013, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians from the Sunni majority, was pursued and arrested. After attempting to escape, he was detained by Syrian intelligence agencies in coordination with their Turkish counterparts. Celebrations and chanting of Takbirs took place in Syrian regions celebrating his arrest, while it was also rumored that the detention operation was carried out jointly by Syrian and Turkish intelligence inside Lebanon. Oral, who hails from Hatay Province in Turkey and is a member of the Alawite sect, was known for his involvement in acts of violence and for playing a leadership role in massacres against civilians during the Syrian revolution. His name was linked to Turkish wanted lists following his involvement in the 2013 Reyhanlı bombings. His arrest marks a significant turning point in the pursuit of justice for the massacres committed against Syrian civilians and is considered one of the most significant targeted operations carried out by Syrian intelligence in cooperation with their Turkish counterparts.
