Syria's Alawites fear that massacres will be committed against them during combing operations carried out by Syria's security forces and military.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) received a call from the suburb of Bseisin, adjacent to the city of Jablah, following the execution of family members, including people with disabilities.

SOHR sources confirmed that a large number of families have been displaced from their homes in villages and towns, and the fate of these families is unknown as combing operations continue.
