The Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham-led (HTS) members of the ruling regime in Syria have killed 72 people across the conflict-ridden country in the past 24 hours, a UK-based war monitor says, Press TV reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that 58 out of 72 were killed by “armed groups" affiliated with the HTS-aligned General Security and military factions in the provinces of Tartus and Latakia.
The remaining murders took place in the Aleppo, Dara'a, Dayr al-Zawr, Damascus, and Homs provinces, it added.
On December 8, 2024, foreign-backed HTS announced the fall of the government of President Bashar al-Assad following a rapid two-week onslaught.
Earlier this month, the HTS and armed opposition groups engaged in gruesome massacres in the country’s northwestern coastal region.
SOHR said this week that more than 4,711 civilians, including 345 women and 194 children, were massacred in the 100 days since the ouster of the Assad government.
