  Rights groups, such as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), have reported that recent killings on the coast were carried out by forces linked to the Syrian government as they cracked down on supporters of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, who was toppled in December 2024.

The article from MSN discusses the escalating violence against Christians in Syria, particularly in the regions of Deir Ezzor and Al-Hasakah, where ISIS sleeper cells are reportedly active. It highlights the recent killing of a Christian priest, Father Jacques Murad, and the abduction of two other priests, Father Michel Kayyal and Father Maher Mahfouz, in 2013, whose fates remain unknown. The Christian community in Syria, already diminished by the ongoing civil war, is facing increased threats, with reports of targeted killings, abductions, and forced conversions. The article notes that these acts are part of a broader pattern of persecution against religious minorities in the region. Christian leaders and organizations are calling for international attention and action to protect the remaining Christian population in Syria, warning that without intervention, the ancient Christian communities could be eradicated from the area.
