Syria is witnessing a surge in violence against Christians and Alawites, with at least 1,800 people killed in the past few days as the new Islamist regime expands its control. The Al Qaeda-linked government, installed after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s rule, has targeted religious minorities in what many fear is an organized campaign of extermination.

The crisis began when Assad, who had used the Syrian military to defend Christians, fled to Russia in December following a coup led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Syria’s Al Qaeda affiliate. The new government, under interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, initially promised stability but has instead unleashed terror on non-Sunni communities. Entire villages have been destroyed, churches burned and families executed.

Despite growing evidence of mass killings, international leaders have failed to act. The United Nations condemned “violence against civilians” but made no mention of the religious persecution. Western media has largely ignored the atrocities, instead focusing on political maneuvering within the new Syrian government.

Israel, Syria’s powerful neighbor, has not responded to desperate calls for aid from Christian leaders. Though Israeli officials have warned about Islamist extremism, they have taken no steps to stop the slaughter or provide military assistance to those being targeted.

Survivors describe brutal killings, with militants rounding up families and executing them in the streets. Christian leaders have issued urgent pleas for intervention, warning that their communities face complete annihilation under the current regime.

As the violence escalates, the world remains silent. Christians in Syria are left without protection, praying for someone to intervene before it is too late.
