Groups of militants affiliated with the Ministry of Defense stormed Harison town in Baniyas countryside, where they looted and burned houses and civilian properties.

This followed the announcement by Damascus government about the accomplishment of the “security campaign” in the Syrian coastline.

More than 1,300 people were killed by the militants in the three days to late Sunday, with civilians comprising 973 of the dead, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said in a statement.

It is worth noting that Harison town has come under attack with different weapons, although inhabitants had escaped to farmlands.

Meanwhile, the town’s residents have appealed to urgent intervention and called upon the UN delegation, which arrived at Baniyas yesterday and has toured areas in the Syrian coastline, to visit their town.

The living situation in the Syrian coastline has deteriorated dramatically with the suspension of delivering foodstuffs and basic products for days in light of the ongoing “security campaign”.
