Podcasts about Latakia

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The IDF confirmed last night that an Israeli airstrike earlier this month killed top Hamas leader Muhammad Sinwar while he was in a tunnel underneath a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip. What information is the IDF basing the confirmation on? The IDF claims that Hamas’s hold is slipping, along with its stronghold on food supplies. However, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation effort is being accused of wounding and even killing Gazans who are attempting to secure aid. Fabian weighs in on this increasingly murky endeavor. A 19-year-old Defense Ministry civilian contractor, David Libi, was killed by an explosive device Thursday during Israel Defense Forces operations in the northern Gaza Strip. We learn why the IDF is employing Israeli civilians in the Strip. The IDF carried out airstrikes on Friday near the coastal Syrian city of Latakia, saying its fighter jets targeted weapon depots used to store anti-ship missiles. It was Israel’s first reported strikes in Syria in nearly a month, but the IDF is not being forthcoming as to which terror group -- or state -- was the owner of the missiles. Finally, we learned recently that the Israeli Air Force intercepted 35 drones launched by the Hezbollah terror group using a new laser interception system. The new system used during the fighting is a lower-powered version of the Iron Beam laser interceptor, which is set to be delivered to the Israel Defense Forces later this year. We hear about the IDF's beta-testing of the new system. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

La provincia costera de Latakia, en el oeste de Siria, fue el escenario de una matanza de más de mil personas, la gran mayoría civiles de la minoría alauita, entre el 7 y el 9 de marzo. France 24 visitó la zona, donde el terror y el miedo a un nuevo ciclo de violencia se han apoderado de sus habitantes. 

Our Syria correspondents travelled to the country's western coastal province of Latakia, which was the scene of the shocking massacre of civilians from the Alawite minority between March 7 and 9. They bring us this exclusive report.

Co najmniej tysiąc osób – w większości cywilów należących do mniejszości alawickiej, która wspierała dawną władzę Baszara al-Asada – zginęło w ostatnim tygodniu w Syrii. Starcia między wojskiem a zwolennikami byłego dyktatora zaczęły się 5 marca, kiedy ci drudzy zaatakowali posterunki w północno-zachodniej części kraju. Po tym, gdy siły bezpieczeństwa opanowały lokalne powstanie, ofiarami odwetowych mordów stali się właśnie cywile.Wydarzenia w prowincjach Latakia i Tartus to najpoważniejszy kryzys, z jakim mierzą się nowe władze Syrii. To także efekt zabójstw i pozasądowych egzekucji wykonywanych od grudnia na funkcjonariuszach dawnego reżimu; efekt nawarstwionych emocji i żądzy zemsty – a także lęku o własne bezpieczeństwo, który odczuwają niektóre mniejszości.Jak silni są w Syrii zwolennicy Asada i czy mogą zagrozić nowej władzy? Jakie jest ryzyko wybuchu nowej wojny domowej? Co zmieni ogłoszone właśnie porozumienie z Kurdami, którzy zgodzili się dołączyć do syryjskiego wojska? Jak w tym wszystkim odnajdzie się Turcja?

El 7 de marzo, el Gobierno sirio impuso el toque de queda en las provincias costeras de Latakia y Tartus para controlar la mayor insurrección a la que se ha enfrentado enfrenta desde la caída del régimen de Bachar el Asad el pasado diciembre. Desde ese día se calcula que hay más de un millar de muertos. En su mayoría civiles alauíes, incluidas matanzas que han conmocionado al país. Aunque el Gobierno ya da por terminadas las operaciones militares, queda por ver cómo va a afectar este episodio a la reconstrucción de un país que acababa de salir 13 años de guerra y 50 de dictadura.

US envoy Witkoff starts talks in Qatar as Israel proposes truce extension "US presidential envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has begun talks in Qatar to push for progress on releasing Israeli captives amid a proposal by Tel Aviv to extend a ceasefire deal in besieged Gaza for 60 days, Israel's public broadcaster KAN reported. The first 42-day phase of a three-phase ceasefire and prisoner swap deal, each of equal length, between Hamas and Israel, brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the US, ended March 1 after starting on January 19. Israel has reneged on the truce deal announced by Biden administration last year and wants to impose its own new deal on Palestine." White House puts pressure on Columbia University as it seeks to deport pro-Palestine activists "The White House says Columbia University is refusing to help federal agents find people being sought as part of the government's effort to deport participants in pro-Palestine demonstrations. In a briefing with reporters in Washington, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said federal authorities have been ""using intelligence"" to identify other people involved in campus demonstrations critical of Israeli aggression. She said Columbia had been given names and was refusing to help the Department of Homeland Security ""to identify those individuals on campus""." Syrians rally in support of new government after attacks by Assad loyalists "Hundreds of civilians have gathered in Syria's Latakia to express support for the government forces following recent incidents in the province. People assembled in Sheikh Dahir Square in the centre of Latakia, holding banners with Arabic messages, including: ""The forces of the deposed regime have destroyed the infrastructure"", "The Alsharaa government represents me", and ""We stand with the security forces"". Some demonstrators carried flags of the Syrian Army, while others displayed photos of security personnel who died in clashes between March 6 and 10." Portuguese government loses confidence vote, paving way for snap elections "Portugal could be heading to its third general election in three years after the centre-right government of Prime Minister Luis Montenegro lost a vote of confidence. The vote was called over conflict-of-interest accusations against Montenegro involving a family business. A last-minute attempt to avoid the vote failed when terms could not be agreed for setting up a mooted parliamentary inquiry. The country's president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, must now decide whether to dissolve the assembly and call new elections." India bans Kashmir political parties days after criticising 'obscene' fashion show "The Indian government has imposed a five-year ban on two local political parties in India-administered Kashmir, declaring them ""unlawful associations"" threatening India's sovereignty, integrity and security. According to Indian Home Ministry, the Awami Action Committee (AAC) and the Jammu and Kashmir Ittihadul Muslimeen (JKIM), were accused of ""supporting terrorism, spreading anti-India narratives, and raising funds for secessionist movements in the region"". The Indian government invoked Section 3 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 to enforce the five-year ban."

An uneasy calm had settled over Syria, and religious minorities were more hopeful they could survive the new regime. But what are the implications of recent clashes with loyalists to the Assad regime?

The past several days have seen horrifying sectarian massacres in Syria. Over 1,000 people have been killed, mostly Alawites and some Christians, in Latakia and Tartus. The perpetrators? Sectarian death squads from HTS, led by Syria's new president, Mohammed al-Jolani—formerly the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria.Western media is whitewashing these atrocities, falsely framing them as “revenge” against pro-Assad remnants. But the truth is clear: Syria is now controlled by Salafi jihadists who openly target minorities. How did this happen? What is the reality on the ground? And why is the media complicit in covering up genocide?Veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier joins Dispatches for a special live episode to break down the facts the media won't tell you.

En los últimos días Siria ha sido escenario de una de las olas de violencia más intensas desde la caída del régimen de Bashar Al Assad en diciembre de 2024. Los enfrentamientos, centrados principalmente en las provincias costeras de Latakia y Tartús, han reavivado los temores de una nueva guerra civil o, mejor dicho, de que se reanude la guerra civil que en estos momentos se encuentra en pausa sin que se haya alcanzado aún un acuerdo definitivo de paz. La minoría alauita, históricamente vinculada al clan de los Al Assad, ha sido blanco de asesinatos selectivos que han conmocionado a la comunidad internacional. Todos señalan como responsable al nuevo Gobierno de Ahmed Al Sharaa que lucha por consolidar su autoridad en un país profundamente fracturado. El conflicto estalló el jueves 6 de marzo, cuando grupos armados leales al depuesto régimen de Assad, muchos de ellos alauitas, lanzaron una serie de ataques coordinados contra posiciones de las fuerzas de seguridad del Gobierno en la región costera, un bastión tradicional de esta minoría religiosa. Según diversas informaciones, los insurgentes, liderados por figuras como el ex comandante Suheil Al Hassan, conocido como "el Tigre", intentaron aprovechar el descontento de la comunidad alauita, que está sufriendo represalias desde la caída de Assad. Estos ataques dejaron decenas de muertos entre las fuerzas leales al Gobierno, lo que desencadenó una respuesta militar por parte de milicias cercanas a Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, la guerrilla de origen islamista que se hizo con el poder en diciembre del año pasado. La represión que siguió ha sido descrita como brutal. Según el Observatorio Sirio de Derechos Humanos, más de un millar personas han muerto en menos de una tres días, entre ellos unos 750 civiles alauitas, muchos ejecutados a sangre fría en lo que este observatorio ha calificado como "masacres sectarias". Videos y testimonios verificados muestran escenas desgarradoras: cuerpos apilados en patios, ejecuciones sumarias y saqueos de domicilios alauitas. Las fuerzas de seguridad, apoyadas por milicias sunnitas, han sido acusadas de atacar indiscriminadamente a civiles alauitas, independientemente de si estaban o no relacionados con el régimen de Al Assad. Estas acciones han empeorado las tensiones internas alimentando el miedo a una limpieza étnica en la región. El presidente interino, Ahmed Al Sharaa, ha intentado desvincularse de las masacres, atribuyendo la violencia a "acciones individuales" y a los "restos del régimen de Assad". En un discurso que ofreció el domingo, prometió investigar las violaciones contra civiles y exigió la rendición de los grupos armados alauitas, advirtiendo que no tolerará desafíos a su autoridad. Pero sus palabras han sido recibidas con escepticismo, especialmente por la comunidad alauita, que se siente marginada por un Gobierno de mayoría sunita que no ha querido incluirlos en el denominado proceso de transición. La comunidad internacional ha reaccionado con preocupación. Naciones Unidas, a través de su alto comisionado para los Derechos Humanos, Volker Turk, ha exigido acciones inmediatas para proteger a los civiles, mientras que países como Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea han condenado las atrocidades y han pedido investigaciones independientes. La situación también ha generado críticas hacia el papel de potencias extranjeras, como Irán, acusado de apoyar a los insurgentes alauitas, y Turquía, que respalda al gobierno de Al Sharaa.

Since around 1 pm on Friday, there have been ongoing mass killings of the Alawites in Latakia, village by village, by HTS. Systematically killing the men and kidnapping the women. They now have Kardaha surrounded. So why is this happening?Support the showReflections and observations from William Morris, Secretary General of the Next Century Foundation

//The Wire//1900Z March 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CHAOS CONTINUES IN SYRIA. MAJOR SHIP COLLISION IN NORTH SEA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-North Sea: Early this morning a serious vessel collision was reported between two large cargo vessels. The M/V STENA IMMACULATE was lying at anchor when she was struck by the M/V SOLONG this morning. The collision resulted in a large and uncontrolled fire, which caused the crews of both vessels to abandon ship. Various Coast Guard forces carried out large-scale rescue operations throughout the day, recovering approximately 32x mariners from their liferafts by this afternoon.AC: At the moment, the status of the recovered crew members is unknown. It also isn't clear as to if either vessel is sinking, due to the fires preventing an assessment of watertight integrity. The STENA IMMACULATE is a US-flagged tanker vessel that was in these waters reportedly to resupply a US Navy vessel with aviation fuel. Per AIS ship tracking data, the SOLONG was very likely at fault, directly colliding with the STENA's port side directly amidships, without deviating from course or attempting to slow down. Consequently, this incident will very likely be subject to a thorough investigation to determine if this collision was intentional.Syria: The violence of the past few days has greatly expanded, and now encompasses many different factions. Most of the fighting has been reported in the northwestern regions of Syria, from Latakia to Baniyas.-HomeFront-USA: This morning Twitter/X suffered a large scale outage. Elon Musk stated that the reason for the outage was related to a large-scale cyberattack.Washington: Attacks on Tesla vehicle dealerships continue with assailants conducting an arson attack in Seattle. Overnight, several Tesla vehicles were set on fire in a storage lot on the corner of 2nd Ave and Spokane Street.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: At the moment it is too soon to tell if a civil war has begun in Syria, however the violence over the past week has been exceptionally disturbing. What originally began as retaliatory massacres of former members of the Assad regime, has transitioned into what most would consider to be ethnic cleansing operations. Christians have been a primary target for many groups, which have formed killing squads specifically with the goal of targeting Christian communities. Other (comparatively moderate) Muslim factions have also been targeted, with the Alawite ethnic group continually suffering massacres as well.Tragically, Syria is not unfamiliar with this development, as the long and weary Syrian Civil War of recent memory resulted in similar levels of factional violence. However, in this case, there is no somewhat stable regime to exert some sort of control over some parts of the nation. In short, those who thought Assad was a madman have not met Mohammad al-Julani, Syria's new leader who climbed to notoriety not via family aristocracy...but by hopping from militant group to militant group (and gaining warlord status along the way).Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

It's been reported that more than 1,000 Syrians have been killed in the past few days in clashes between security forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, and revenge killings that followed. Syria's interim leader has appealed for unity, and hundreds of people have reportedly fled their homes in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus - strongholds of Assad support.

After 13 years of civil war, a transitional government is now in charge in Syria, led by interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of the Islamist rebel group – Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or HTS. Syria is home to many different religious and ethnic groups and some fear that more conservative members of HTS could influence government policy. Nor is the fighting over. Forces linked to the new government have been battling Assad loyalists in in the port cities of Latakia and Tartous, where dozens of people are reported to have been killed. In our conversations, two women discuss new freedoms but also share fears about safety and women's rights. We bring together three tour guides to share what the country has to offer visitors. We also hear from two refugees, who have returned to the country to reunite with their families.

Over 500 people have been killed in violent clashes between gunmen loyal to ousted President Bashar al Assad and the authorities. Assad is from the Alawite religious minority and there are reports suggesting that the community is being targeted - with many civilians being killed. We speak to a Syrian woman trying to contact her family from abroad and an expert helps us understand Syria's new government.Also in the programme: the network outsmarting AI Chatbots to spread Russian propaganda; and we go to Greenland to judge the mood ahead of the upcoming elections at a time when US President Donald Trump has said he wants to take over the territory.(Photo: Syrian army personnel travel in a military vehicle as they head towards Latakia to join the fight against the fighters linked to Syria's ousted leader Bashar al-Assad, in Aleppo, Syria.

VOV1 - Các cuộc đụng độ tiếp diễn tại tỉnh Latakia của Syria, với số thương vong tăng cao, khiến đây là một trong những vụ bạo lực tồi tệ nhất mà chính phủ lâm thời Syria phải đối mặt kể từ khi lật đổ cựu Tổng thống Bashar Al-Assad vào tháng 12/2024.

A war monitoring group says the number of people summarily executed by Syrian security forces in former president Bashar al-Assad's Latakia stronghold has risen to 134. We speak to a Syrian Alawite in the area. Also on the programme: President Trump seems to give his backing to an overnight Russian bombardment of Ukraine; a call to arms in Poland to counter the threat from Russia - military training for all adult men. We hear of the power of the micro-influencers and Lady Gaga on what she says is her angriest song ever.

Syrian security forces are reported to have carried out a mass execution of fifty-two people of the Alawite minority in the coastal province of Latakia. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says activists have released footage showing dozens of bodies in civilian clothing piled in the yard of a house. The incident follows clashes in the province between government forces and supporters of the former president Bashar al-Assad, which left more than seventy people dead. We speak to a local resident in Latakia. Also in the programme: Russia targets Ukraine's energy infrastructure in a missile and drone attack overnight; and Lady Gaga on her new album and the long, hard road to get there.

Bundespräsidentin Karin Keller-Sutter sieht nach den jüngsten Entscheidungen der USA keine Wende in der Schweizer Aussenpolitik. Sie betonte, dass sich die Schweiz für einen gerechten und dauerhaften Frieden in der Ukraine engagiere, plädierte aber indirekt für diplomatische Zurückhaltung. Ausserdem: Der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte hat 2024 den Klimaseniorinnen Recht gegeben und befunden, die Schweiz müsse klimapolitisch mehr tun. Nun hat sich das Ministerkomitee des Europarates mit der Frage befasst, ob die Schweiz das Urteil tatsächlich durchsetzt. In den Küstenstädten Latakia und Tartus ist es zu den heftigsten Gefechten seit dem Sturz des Assad-Regimes im Dezember gekommen. Bei Kämpfen zwischen Sicherheitskräften und Anhängern des alten Regimes kamen Dutzende Menschen ums Leben.

Meanwhile, Hamas has named three Israeli hostages who will be released * Syrian authorities nab Assad's cousin Najib over crimes against civilians Syrian security forces have arrested Atef Najib, a cousin of ousted Bashar al Assad and former political security chief in Daraa, over crimes against civilians, including children. The arrest was confirmed by Lt. Col. Mustafa Knefati, director of the Public Security Directorate in Latakia, northwest Syria. Najib is accused of being among the first to commit human rights violations at the start of the 2011 uprising and is also blamed for the arrest and torture of children in Daraa. * Intense fighting in DRC's Goma kills 700 people in five days: UN At least 700 people have been killed since Sunday in intense fighting in Goma, the capital of North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a UN spokesman confirmed.

As Syria emerges from decades of dictatorship, people in the Assad family's ancestral home of Latakia province are both overjoyed and anxious.

You can't even imagine how significant this defeat is. Unfortunately, Western politicians don't fully grasp this.  Otherwise, we would draw proper conclusions from this failure. Let's start with the fact that during the early years of Syrian civil war, Moscow did not offer much help to Assad. Most of the assistance was limited to miserable food supplies sent as humanitarian aid to Syrians. I remember seeing firsthand in 2012 how bags of gray, cheapest Russian pasta delivered with great pomp to Latakia airport were discarded by the roadside. When I asked locals why they treated the aid  that way, they replied, "We won't reject help when it's offered, but we can't eat this stuff. Have you seen this pasta? Even our dogs won't touch that garbage."  Putin turned his attention to Syria only after starting the war against Ukraine in 2014, that's when Russia got involved in a foreign war. From the outset, Putin pursued several objectives in Syria: trying to find common ground with the West, which was already fighting ISIS there, supporting the kindred dictatorship of Assad and testing weapons and military tactics for later use against Ukraine. For years, Syria became the top topic of Russian propaganda. It was declared Russia's closest ally. TV broadcasts proclaimed Syria as the birthplace of orthodox Christianity, emphasizing the need to protect it from Islamists. Instead of pasta bullets, missiles and mercenaries were sent to Latakia and Damascus.  Here I need to pose and remind you that the only way this podcast is monetized is through your donations. It's tough without them. Please check the episode description for all the necessary details on how to support me. Thank you.  Back to Syria. Russia poured tens of billions of dollars into the conflict. These funds were spent on weapons, infrastructure, propaganda, and even Russian language textbooks, which suddenly became mandatory in Syrian schools. Enormous sums were spent on the war that was supposed to be Putin's triumph. He even visited Syria himself boasting about how he had won and how everything would now be wonderful.  In return for these billions, the Russians secured from Assad the continued operation of a Soviet era level base in Tartus. This base became the primary supply hub for Russian allies and mercenaries in Libya, the Central African Republic, and our countries of region. And now, all of this has suddenly vanished. Assad, Russia's best friend, is gone. A country so significant for Christianity has been surrendered. Russia is on the verge of losing its basis, and billions have been wasted for nothing. And what does Putin do? Nothing. His propaganda machine simply blames Iran, claims that the Syrians did something wrong, or insists that the Russian operation there ended long ago. There's been no nuclear escalation, no mass mobilization, nothing. Their main ally has simply been abandoned it. And this is precisely how Russia will abandon occupied parts of Ukraine. Propaganda  will spin the narrative, but it was actually a victory, not a defeat, that all objectives were achieved and everything is fine.  What's happening in Syria demonstrates to the entire world that Putin will abandon everything and everyone, relinquish any conquests if he's hit hard enough. Don't fear Putin. Strike him. He must lose.     

Der syrische Herrscher Baschar al-Assad ist gestürzt. 60 Jahre brutalster Diktatur in Syrien mit Giftgasangriffen und mehr als 150.000 Vermissten, die mutmaßlich getötet wurden, sind endlich vorbei. Und auch, wenn die Zukunft Syriens ungewiss ist, wenn sich gerade viele Minderheiten darum sorgen, was für eine Zeit unter den neuen Herrschern anbricht, eines ist gewiss: Assads Niederlage ist auch Putins Niederlage. Putin war nicht in der Lage, seinen Verbündeten zu stützen, er konnte ihm nur noch das Diktatorenexil in Russland anbieten.    Und nun? In dieser Folge des "Ostcasts" reden wir mit Hanna Notte darüber, was diese Niederlage für Russland bedeutet. Notte ist Direktorin des Eurasienprogramms beim James Martin Center for Nonproliferation. Mit ihr diskutieren Alice Bota und Michael Thumann über die historischen Beziehungen Russlands zur Assad-Familie und die Folgen des Sturzes für den russischen Einfluss im Nahen Osten und in der Welt. Was bedeutet das für die militärischen Operationen in Afrika, die bislang über den Stützpunkt und Hafen in Latakia abgewickelt wurden? Können die Russen mit den neuen Herrschern in Syrien Beziehungen aufbauen? Welche Einflussmöglichkeiten bleiben Russland noch im Nahen Osten, und wie wird die russische Niederlage international wahrgenommen?   Alle drei Wochen sprechen wir im "Ostcast" über Politik und Gesellschaft der osteuropäischen Länder. Alice Bota berichtet von ihren Gesprächen und Erfahrungen in Osteuropa, Michael Thumann erzählt von seinen Begegnungen und Reisen in Russland und den Nachbarländern.

For the first time since he fled the country he ruled with an iron fist and a willingness to kill his own people to hold power, Bashar al-Assad was heard from. In a statement from exile in Moscow, Assad claimed he did not want to leave Syria but was evacuated by Russia after he left Damascus for his family's heartland near the coast.

The United Nations said on Tuesday that it rejects any aggression against Syrian sovereignty and violations of its territorial integrity, while Israel said it was establishing a "sterile defense zone" in southern Syria after carrying out more than 350 strikes in 48 hours.12月10日，联合国表示，反对任何侵犯叙利亚主权和破坏其领土完整的行为。而在48小时内实施了350多次袭击后，以色列表示正在叙利亚南部建立一个“无菌防御区”。Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said at a news conference that Syria's "turning point" should not be used by its neighbors to encroach upon its territory, and should instead be used by all those in the region to support the Syrian people.联合国秘书长古特雷斯的发言人迪雅里克在新闻发布会上表示，近期局势变化是叙利亚面临的“转折点”，周边邻国不应趁机侵占叙利亚领土，而该地区的所有人应在此时支持叙利亚人民。Dujarric said they were very clear about the violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement following the Israel Defense Forces' occupation of the buffer zone. In 1967, Israel occupied most of the Golan Heights during the Middle East war and later annexed the territory. This was never recognized by the international community.迪雅里克强调，联合国非常清楚以色列国防军占领缓冲区违反了1974年签订的脱离接触协议。1967年，以色列在第三次中东战争中占领戈兰高地部分地区，后将这一被占领土兼并。国际社会不承认以色列对这一地区的主权。Meanwhile, Geir Pedersen, the UN special envoy for Syria, told journalists in Geneva on Tuesday that the conflict in northeastern Syria is not over as there have been clashes between the Syrian National Army, the opposition groups and the Syrian Democratic Forces.与此同时，联合国秘书长叙利亚问题特使裴凯儒10日在瑞士日内瓦表示，叙利亚东北部的冲突尚未结束，叙利亚国民军、反对派团体和叙利亚民主力量之间持续发生冲突。"We are calling obviously for calm also in this area," Pedersen said.裴凯儒说：“我们呼吁该地区保持冷静。”In addition, Israeli troop movements into the occupied Golan Heights and bombardments "need to stop", he said. "The message from New York is just the same — that what we are seeing is a violation of the disengagement agreement in 1974."此外，裴凯儒表示，以色列军队进入被占戈兰高地并进行轰炸的行为“必须停止”。他说：“联合国发出的信息是一样的——我们所看到的是对1974年脱离接触协议的违反。”In a post on X, the Israel Defense Forces reported striking most of what it claimed were the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria in 48 hours "to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorist elements".以色列国防军在社交平台X上发帖称，过去48小时内在叙利亚实施的袭击，击中了叙利亚大部分战略武器库，“以防止它们落入恐怖分子之手”。Among the actions were more than 350 airstrikes. A "wide range of targets" included antiaircraft batteries, Syrian Air Force airfields and dozens of alleged weapons production sites in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia and Palmyra.以军的行动包括350多次空袭。袭击目标广泛，包括大马士革、霍姆斯、塔尔图斯、拉塔基亚和巴尔米拉的机场、防空炮台以及一些武器生产基地。Syria's naval operations were also targeted, including the Al-Bayda port and the Latakia port, where 15 Syrian naval vessels were hit.叙利亚海军也遭到袭击，其中包括位于米奈特贝达湾和拉塔基亚港的15艘叙利亚海军舰艇。Pedersen said Syria is still in a very "fluid" period, adding that there is a real opportunity for change, but it needs to be grasped by the Syrians themselves and supported by the UN and the international community.裴凯儒表示，叙利亚仍处于一个非常“不稳定”的时期。这是一个真正的变革机会，但这个机会需要叙利亚人自己把握，并得到联合国和国际社会的支持。Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani, leader of the opposition group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham that led the rebel offensive and wrested control of Syria, told CNN that their goal had been to overthrow Syria's longtime president Bashar al-Assad.领导叛军攻势并夺取叙利亚控制权的反对派组织——沙姆解放组织的领导人阿布·穆罕默德·乔拉尼告诉CNN，他们的目标是推翻长期执政的叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德的政权。Syria's caretaker Prime Minister Mohamed al-Bashir called for stability and calm amid a leadership change.叙利亚过渡政府领导人穆罕默德·巴希尔呼吁在领导层更迭之际维持稳定和平静。On Wednesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the toppling of Assad was the result of a plan by the United States and Israel.11日，伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里 ·哈梅内伊表示，阿萨德政权被推翻是美国和以色列共同策划的结果。"What happened in Syria was mainly planned in the command rooms of America and Israel. We have evidence of this. A neighboring government of Syria was also involved," Khamenei said in a speech reported by state media, without naming the neighboring country in question.“叙利亚发生的一切主要是在美国和以色列的指挥中心策划的。我们有证据证明这一点。叙利亚的一个邻国政府也参与其中。”哈梅内伊在伊通社报道的讲话中说，但没有点出这个邻国的名字。Dina Yulianti Sulaeman, director of the Indonesia Center for Middle East Studies, told China Daily that Israel, which is "most invested in weakening Syria" because of the latter's historically hostile stance toward it, will not allow Syria to become stable and secure.印度尼西亚中东研究中心主任迪娜·尤利安蒂·苏莱曼告诉《中国日报》，以色列“最想削弱叙利亚”，因为叙利亚历来对以色列持敌对立场，以色列不会允许叙利亚变得稳定和安全。"In recent days, Israel has bombarded Syria, destroying nearly all of Syria's military facilities, effectively leaving the country with no capacity to defend its sovereignty," she said.她表示：“最近几天，以色列轰炸了叙利亚，摧毁了叙利亚几乎所有的军事设施，实际上使叙利亚没有能力捍卫自己的主权。”"The accumulation of Israeli attacks, the collapse of infrastructure safeguarding territorial sovereignty, economic hardships, and internal chaos bring the potential for Syria's balkanization, as long envisioned in Israel's Oded Yinon Plan."“以色列持续的袭击、捍卫领土主权的基础设施的崩溃、经济困难以及内部混乱，都为叙利亚的巴尔干化带来了可能，而这正是以色列的‘伊农计划'长期以来所设想的。”The Oded Yinon Plan refers to a strategy, outlined in a 1982 article by a former Israeli official and scholar, for Israel's expansion in the Middle East and North Africa region.“伊农计划”是指以色列前官员、学者伊农在1982年发表的一篇文章中概述的以色列在中东和北非地区扩张的战略。sterileadj. 无菌的decryv. 公开反对；谴责balkanizationn. 巴尔干化；分割成小国territorial integrity领土完整

Tras el derrocamiento de Bashar Al Assad, su último primer ministro, Mohamed Ghazi Al Jalali fue confirmado en su puesto por los rebeldes que tomaron Damasco, pero no es él quien manda allí. La capital la controla de forma directa el grupo islamista Hayat Tahrir Al Sham. En los últimos años este grupo ha intentado distanciarse de su pasada relación con Al Qaeda y el Estado Islámico. Por de pronto han prometido un Gobierno representativo y tolerancia religiosa en un país caracterizado por la diversidad étnica. El lunes anunciaron una amnistía general para todos los soldados reclutados por el ejército sirio. Prohibieron también interferir en la vestimenta de las mujeres o imponer el uso del velo. No quieren, en definitiva, que su ascenso al poder se compare con el de los talibanes en Afganistán hace tres años y medio. Aunque Damasco sigue en estado de shock tras los acontecimientos de los últimos días, poco a poco la actividad administrativa se ha ido recuperando. Para las potencias extranjeras que el traspaso de poderes sea pacífico y acordado es una ventaja ya que les permitirá adaptarse a la nueva realidad política en Siria. El Gobierno iraní, por ejemplo, ya ha confirmado que tienen abierta una línea directa de comunicación con los nuevos dueños del país. Para Irán la principal preocupación es si el sucesor de Assad alejará a Siria de la órbita iraní. Siria le da a Irán acceso directo al Mediterráneo y, lo más importante, frontera terrestre con el Líbano e Israel. Un Gobierno hostil les privaría de ello. Algo similar sucede con Rusia, que cuenta con una base naval en el puerto de Tartús y otra aérea en Latakia. Si las pierden su posición en el Mediterráneo quedará muy debilitada. Israel por su parte se ha apoderado de la zona desmilitarizada en los Altos del Golán. Arguyen motivos de seguridad. Por lo demás, los israelíes se han mostrado muy activos en los últimos días. Han atacado ciertos emplazamientos donde aseguran que el régimen de Assad albergaba armas químicas. En principio nada nuevo. En los últimos años la aviación israelí ha atacado cientos de veces el interior de Siria para desgastar a Irán y a sus aliados de Hezbolá. En Estados Unidos, donde todo esto ha sucedido en plena transición presidencial, observan desde lejos el curso de los acontecimientos. El temor del Pentágono, que cuenta con un pequeño contingente sobre el terreno en el desierto sirio, es que las milicias asociadas al Estado Islámico aprovechen la inestabilidad para reconstruirse en el interior del país. Una vez rehechas tratarán de reiniciar la peor fase de la guerra civil, la que protagonizo el Estado Islámico entre 2015 y 2018. El mismo domingo la Casa Blanca ordenó que se realizasen una serie de ataques selectivos sobre estas milicias. Entretanto, el nuevo hombre fuerte de Siria es Abu Mohamed Al Golani, que ha recuperado su apellido original, Al Shara, con idea de trasladar tranquilidad y confianza a sus aliados y a la comunidad internacional. Al Golani tiene un pasado muy comprometido. Militó en Al Qaeda durante años y es un misterio si la transformación personal y política que dice haber realizado es cierta o, por el contrario, se trata de una estratagema para hacerse con todo el poder sin encontrar resistencia.

Haneen Nasser llegó a Argentina en 2016 escapando de la guerra civil en Syria. Vivía en Latakia con su familia y era fotógrafa y por la desesperación para pagar el viaje hasta el consulado argentino en Líbano tuvo que vender su cámara de fotos. Su historia al llegar a la Argentina se viralizó y Apuntes junto con un grupo de jóvenes judíos argentinos decide recaudar fondos para comprarle una cámara nueva como gesto de bienvenida para comenzar de nuevo en un país que recibe con los brazos abiertos, donde todas las religiones conviven en paz. De origen musulmán alawita, Haneen se instaló en La Pampa, se casó y Apuntes no supo mucho más de ella hasta que poco tiempo después del 7 de Octubre recibió un mensaje de ella solidarizándose y compartiendo su preocupación. Un año y unos meses más tarde en plena crisis en Syria, atentos a las consecuencias para Medio Oriente, Israel y los judíos, Apuntes la vuelve a contactar para conversar con ella sobre su historia y la de su país para ayudarnos a entender cómo se conecta con el conflicto troncal contra el islamismo. Con una frescura fuera de serie, Haneen nos regala sus puntos de vista sin filtros y nos habilitó a tratar temas durísimos con respeto y al mismo tiempo con irreverencia. Este episodio fue grabado el 3 de Diciembre de 2024, días antes de la caída del régimen de Assad en Syria.

Rebel forces in Syria are bearing down on the city of Homs, a vital link between the capital, Damascus, and the Assad regime's coastal stronghold. We hear from a Christian priest in the coastal city of Latakia.Also in the programme: Romania's top court annuls the results of the first round of the presidential election, after the surprise victory of an unknown far-right nationalist; and Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is reborn after a devastating fire five years ago.(IMAGE: Opposition fighters pose for a selfie in front of a Syrian government building after they entered the city of Hama, Syria, 06 December 2024 / CREDIT: Bilal al Hammoud/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock)

Syria's rebels claim to have reached the city limits of Homs in their lightning offensive south from Idlib which has already seen them capture the country's second city Aleppo as well as Hama. Capturing Homs would isolate the regime stronghold of Latakia on the Mediterranean coast. Meanwhile the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says an uprising of militias in the south of the country has forced President Assad's forces to withdraw from Daraa.In Romania, the constitutional court has annulled the first round of the Presidential elections, which saw an outsider claim the most votes amid allegations of a foreign-backed influence campaign.And as France prepares to reopen a restored Notre Dame cathedral, we hear some of the music that has resonated within its walls throughout its more than 800-year history.

In the mountains of Latakia, Syria, Mudar Salimeh devotes much of his time to searching for butterflies. A geologist, artist, and nature lover, Mudar's fascination with butterflies began in the spring of 2018 when a great number of caterpillars appeared in his art studio. Over time, the caterpillars transformed into a cloud of white butterflies, sparking Mudar's quest to find and document these beautiful, elusive creatures.Syria's civil war has caused extensive ecological damage, affecting far more than just human lives. Then, in February 2023, an earthquake struck the region of Latakia.Spring 2024 arrives and butterflies start to emerge, we join Mudar as he creates an encyclopedia of the different butterfly species in Western Syria - a task made challenging by the shadows of war.Photo credit: Mudar Salimeh From his blog: https://syrianbutterflies.wordpress.com/Field Recordings by Mudar Salimeh Music by Samer Saem Eldahr a.k.a.
