On October 30, 2025, Ms. Yara Nassim Salman, a member of the Alawite community, was kidnapped near the Al-Farous garage in the city of Lattakia, leading to a loss of contact with her. The victim is a married woman and a mother to a young daughter.
Ms. Yara’s mother appeared in a video demanding to know the fate of her daughter, with whom contact was lost in the city of Lattakia.
This incident occurs within a general context marked by repeated kidnappings and violations targeting minorities in several regions of Syria, amid Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s control over authority in the country.
