Information indicates that the “Sportage” vehicle used to run over peaceful Alawite protesters on Sunday belongs to Amir Al-Youssef, an Arabic language teacher from Idlib who has been residing in Latakia for approximately ten years after being displaced due to the crisis. He falsely claimed to be from Aleppo before its fall in order to gain the sympathy of Alawite residents along the coast. As a result, he was allowed to teach in their homes and provide private lessons to their children in good faith.

However, instead of showing gratitude, he deliberately carried out the vehicular attack on peaceful protesters, demonstrating extreme hatred and malicious ingratitude.

📝 Incident Details:
• The vehicle involved in the attack was later transported to Idlib Governorate and received as a symbolic representation of the incident.
• The driver, Amir Al-Youssef, received public praise, gifts, and rewards from certain sheikhs and tribal figures, in a discourse that actively supported violence and encouraged attacks on peaceful Alawite civilians.
• Subsequently, Amir Al-Youssef released a video showing himself traveling to Damascus, which sparked widespread outrage and condemnation for glorifying violence against peaceful protests.
• Supporters of the terrorist de facto authority continue to circulate images of the vehicle, mock the victims in a sectarian manner, and promote the attack as a “heroic act.”

⚠️ Significance:
These events highlight the dangers of sectarian empowerment that allows individuals to commit acts of terrorism, accompanied by official or semi-official incitement and rewards, constituting a blatant violation of human rights and the right to peaceful assembly.

🎥 Incident: Armed factions of the Syrian government’s Ministry of Defense launched a violent attack on Khalid Fajr Hospital, the only healthcare facility in Sheikh Maqsoud, using drones, gas bombs, and tear gas, resulting in a humanitarian catastrophe and risk of mass casualties among civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.

⚠️ Humanitarian Situation:
• Hundreds of wounded civilians are at risk, including women, children, and elderly people.
• Repeated cases of suffocation inside the hospital due to shelling, gas, and tear gas.
• Dozens of civilians remain trapped inside the hospital, amid repeated appeals to halt the attack and ensure the protection of civilians, the injured, and medical staff.

📌 Notes:
• The attack constitutes a blatant violation of international laws and norms protecting medical facilities and civilians during armed conflicts.
• The hospital remains the only healthcare facility in the neighborhood, making any attack on it a clear war crime.
