Violence erupted on March 6, after an attack carried out by the remnants of the ousted President Bashar al -Assad on the Syrian security forces.

This attack led to a military campaign led by the Syrian forces, in which accusations were charged with killing a number of people from the Alawite sect, to which Assad belongs, by groups accused of being linked to the new government.
