On the ninth of November 2025, in the village of Tal Tatan in the Al-Ghab plain in the countryside of Hama, western Syria, Mr. Nadhir Wajih Dawud, a citizen from the Alawite community, was kidnapped by an armed group that stormed his home and took him to an unknown destination.
Following the incident, his family resorted to the police stations of Hama and Al-Suqaylabiyah and the security branches to search for him, but all these authorities denied any connection to the incident. In a subsequent development, the victim’s son appeared in a video segment discussing the details of the incident and demanding the disclosure of his father’s fate.
This incident occurs within a general context characterized by the repetition of killings, kidnappings, and violations targeting minorities in several areas of Syria, amid the control of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham over authority in the country.
