Syrian forces report officer’s death during arrest attempt
The Syrian authorities announced the killing of a former military officer, Firas Abdul Karim Hamoud, during an armed clash in the city of Safita in the Tartus countryside, during an attempt by security forces to arrest him. Hamoud had previously led special forces in the 25th Division. He was charged with belonging to groups loyal to the Assad regime, participating in armed rebellion operations, killing security personnel, and involvement in acts of violence against government forces that have resulted in the deaths of more than 1,700 people, most of them from the Alawite community, since Bashar Assad's fall from power in December 2024. The security challenge in the country persists, with fears of ongoing violence and threats to minorities despite the new authorities' efforts to ensure protection for all.
