: Syria’s new authorities launched a sweeping security operation Friday after clashes with fighters loyal to former president Bashar al-Assad killed 71 people, a war monitor reported.
Restoring security has been one of the most complex tasks for the new authorities since Assad’s fall, which ended 13 years of civil war triggered by his crackdown on pro-democracy protests. Security forces began what official news agency SANA described as a “large-scale” operation in cities, towns and the mountains of Latakia and neighbouring Tartus, following the arrival of reinforcements.
