14 security personnel of Syria’s new government were killed in an ambush by suspected loyalists of former leader Bashar al-Assad in the Tartous countryside. The forces, mainly armed rebels, were on a mission to arrest a former official linked to executions at Saydnaya prison. The attack also left ten others wounded. The new interior minister condemned the attack, vowing to strengthen security. Meanwhile, protests broke out in Homs city, with demonstrators demanding the release of prisoners and protection for religious minorities. The new regime has vowed to safeguard these groups amid rising tensions.
