Syria: Bloodbath Claims Over 1,000 Lives – Families Executed in Their Homes

In harrowing scenes, residents of Syria have witnessed their streets transformed into mass graves over the past five days. The death toll from clashes between armed forces and supporters of ousted Assad has exceeded 1,000, with most victims being civilians, including women and children. At least 300 deaths are estimated among the opposing factions. This surge in violence marks the worst outbreak since Assad’s fall and the 2011 civil war that claimed nearly 500,000 lives. Reports indicate widespread looting and mass executions, with Christians particularly targeted. Public opinion is divided; while many condemn the killings and protest in Damascus, others call for jihad across Syria. Survivors recount families being massacred inside their homes, highlighting deep-seated sectarian tensions fueled by years of oppression under Assad’s regime. International calls for an emergency UN session underscore growing concerns about escalating atrocities against unarmed civilians.
