Eid al-Fitr Massacres in Syria: Family, Women, Children Slaughtered by Islamic Terror Regime

More massacres happened in Syria over the weekend in addition to the ongoing daily separate killing, kidnapping and unlawful arrests.

One happened in the city of Baniyas in the village of Harf Benimra, on the so called general security forces. They came from a nearby military base, entered one of the houses and asked for mayor of the village, and when he arrived they killed him and everyone in the house and left back to their base. The only thing the ISIS government did was send more fighters to the base.

In the city of Homs, specifically in the neighborhood called Karm El-Zaytoun, a fighter in the seciurty forces and his son attacked a house their, killed the parents and their 3 children, 16, 12 and 2 years old in addition to their two gustes.

I have obtained alarming information regarding the brutal massacre of the Alawite Ibrahim family in the [ Karm Al-Zaytoun ] neighborhood of Homs Governorate. The family was slaughtered in cold blood on the night of March 30, 2025 (coinciding with Eid al-Fitr), amid a systematic media blackout imposed on the incident.

Victims include:
1. Bashar Ibrahim(husband)
2. Oula (wife)
3. Ghazal, 16 years old (daughter)
4. Ahmed, 12 years old (son)
5. Haytham Ibrahim, 2 years old (son)
Additionally, a guest staying with the family was killed.

Primary Suspects:
– Abu Khaled and his son, who are affiliated with the Syrian regime’s public security apparatus .
– It is critical to note that these suspects previously led campaigns to forcibly displace other communities from the area.
– Trapped by dire financial circumstances, the Ibrahim family could not flee and were ultimately exterminated solely due to their Alawite identity.

Similar Incident:
This atrocity mirrors a massacre in the Banias area of Tartus Governorate (on Syria’s coast), where a village official was targeted and killed alongside with another family.

Escalating Violence:
These sectarian acts signal a dangerous escalation and risk mirroring patterns of past genocidal campaigns in the region.

Attached Evidence:

2. Photo 2 : A child killed with his family in Banias. This image sparked significant media outrage due to its harrowing depiction of poverty—the emaciated child used a piece of cloth to hold up his pants, as his family could not afford a belt.
