A Syrian war monitor says the death toll from two days of clashes between security forces and loyalists to ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad and revenge killings that followed has risen to more than 600
Over 600 people died in Syria during two days of clashes between security forces and loyalists of ousted President Assad, followed by revenge killings, primarily targeting the Alawite minority. The violence, which began on Thursday, marks a significant escalation in the conflict following Assad's overthrow three months prior, with the majority of deaths occurring in Alawite villages.
