In Syria's Homs Province, gunmen killed at least 13 people in Shia-populated villages during a raid by HTS forces and local militants.
SOHR reported extrajudicial executions, arrests, and several assaults on locals.
As sectarian violence escalates, 83 retaliatory operations have been recorded in early 2025, killing many, including women.
Despite the turmoil, HTS administration attempts to reassure minorities of their rights under the new regime.
