The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) has documented the extrajudicial killing of 961 individuals between March 6 and March 13, 2025, categorized as follows:
1. Killings by Remnants of the Assad Regime (Armed Groups Operating Outside State Control) At least 432 individuals were killed by these groups, distributed as follows:
• 207 members of the General Security Forces.
• 225 civilians.
2. Killings by Armed Forces Engaged in Military Operations Against the Regime’s Remnants
These forces include (factions and unregulated groups nominally affiliated with the Ministry of Defense), were responsible for the deaths of at least 529 individuals. This total comprises both civilians and disarmed members of the remnants of the Assad regime. The majority of these killings were carried out by military factions that recently joined the General Security Directorate.
Clarification
Distinguishing between civilians and disarmed remnants of the Assad regime remains extremely challenging, as many remnants were dressed in civilian attire. It is important to note that this death toll does not include casualties from armed clashes involving the remnants of the Assad regime (armed groups outside state control), as such fatalities are not classified as violations of international law.
