Large-scale demonstrations took place across several Syrian provinces today, with citizens rallying in support of the Syrian security forces and military operations aimed at rooting out loyalists of the ousted Assad regime.
According to separate reports from the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), these demonstrations coincided with ongoing operations by government forces to clear areas in the coastal region, where remnants of Assad’s regime are believed to be hiding among civilians in the villages and mountains.
One of the largest gatherings occurred in the Saadallah al-Jabri Square in Aleppo, where crowds gathered to support the efforts of the Syrian government in fighting the remaining Assad loyalists and to show unity in the battle against those who defy the law.
Protests also took place in Damascus, Homs, Daraa, Hama, Quneitra, and the town of Al-Bukamal in Deir ez-Zor.
Demonstrators expressed support for the Defence Ministry and public security forces, reinforcing their commitment to ensuring security, stability, and the defeat of the remnants of the former regime.
On Thursday evening, protests and rallies were held in several regions of Syria, coinciding with a major security mobilisation.
Military and security forces from various parts of the country converged to assist in countering the largest assault by Assad loyalists in the coastal town of Jableh and its surrounding areas, resulting in the deaths of 11 members of the Syrian army.
