SYRIA The video depicts brutal scenes where members of the terrorist organization Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) physically assault a Syrian soldier. The attackers beat him, throw him to the ground, and strike him with a belt. These acts of violence are yet another example of the cruelty and ruthlessness of this group, which has been deeply involved in the Syrian conflict.
HTS, formerly known as the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda, operates primarily in the Idlib province and is considered one of the most influential Islamist factions in the region. Its goal is to establish strict Islamic law (Sharia) and overthrow the Syrian regime. The organization is internationally recognized as a terrorist group and is notorious not only for its battles against the Syrian government but also for its oppressive rule over civilians and conflicts with other opposition factions.
This footage highlights the grim reality of war crimes that continue to take place in the Syrian conflict.
