Syria's security situation has yet to stabilize, with executions, revenge killings, and bombings still taking place every day.

On Saturday, local sources in the Hama governorate reported that a masked armed group stormed the village of Arza, abducting several residents before executing 15 of them near the Orontes River, late on Friday.

According to eyewitnesses, the assailants knocked on doors in the village, forcibly took the residents to an unknown location, and executed them by shooting with silenced pistols. The attackers then quickly fled the area, leaving the bodies behind.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has condemned such incidents, noting at least 105 revenge killings being recorded across the country, with 218 people reported dead, since the start of 2025. Over half of these victims were targeted because of their sectarian affiliations.
