The new Syrian authorities have closed roads leading to the coastal region.

A source told SANA: “After regaining control over most of the areas where the remnants of the ‘former regime’ spread crime, the Ministry of Defense, in cooperation with the Public Security Department, announces the closure of roads leading to the coastal area in order to monitor violations, prevent offenses and gradually restore stability in the region.”

The Ministry of Defense has formed an emergency commission to monitor violations and refer to the military court those who violated the command's instructions during the force operation.”
