Both sides have exchanged sharp accusations, with each blaming the other for committing "massacres" against civilians. Damascus authorities describe their operations as targeting "remnants of the former regime," while armed groups claim they are resisting the current authorities in defense of their territories, citing "violations" and "massacres" allegedly committed by government forces.

Local reports indicate that more than a hundred people have been killed, with additional cases of homes being set on fire and civilians suffering harm. Graphic images and videos circulating on social media depict the scale of destruction and the toll on civilians, further fueling accusations over responsibility for targeting non-combatants.

So far, neither side has issued an official statement on the exact casualty figures or details of the military operations. Meanwhile, with no ceasefire initiative or de-escalation efforts in sight, the humanitarian situation in the affected areas continues to deteriorate, raising concerns over a further spiral of violence.
