Syrian rebels ask a captured civilian the question: “Sunni or Alawite?” And as soon as the man answers that he is an Alawite, he is immediately shot. This case is mentioned as a current news related to the situation in Syria, although Alawites are also found in other countries, but in smaller numbers.

Military expert Yigal Levin writes about this in his Telegram channel.

Execution on religious grounds is effectively an act of ethnic cleansing. The situation on the Syrian coast is now particularly tense: the HTS group, starting with the persecution of former officers, quickly moved on to the massacres of non-Sunnis.

This is not surprising, given that HTS managed to unite various groups, including radical jihadists. For traditional Sunnis, Shiites are considered heretics who do not belong to Islam, and Alawites are considered even more apostates, even within the Shiite movement. The situation with Christians is becoming increasingly tense, with increasing reports that HTS is trying to extend its persecution to Christians.

However, if Damascus wants to maintain a chance of normalizing relations with the West, it will have to limit its supporters in the issue of persecution of Christians.

This video is not recommended for impressionable people.

Information has emerged that the footage is old and the video shows the execution of an Assad regime officer.

Earlier, Kursor wrote that Iran’s chief diplomat expressed a warning against “destructive interference” in the future of Syria, emphasizing that decisions should be made exclusively by the people of this country. China and Iran actively supported ousted President Bashar al-Assad, and Tehran played a key role in supporting Assad throughout the Syrian civil war
