Since then, security operations have been conducted across the country to track down individuals accused of human rights violations and criminal activities under the previous administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Syria\u2019s state news agency, SANA, the operation covers several towns, including <strong>Suran, Taybat al-Imam, Maardes, and Morek<\/strong>. The security forces have reportedly made multiple arrests, with operations still ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Arrests and Objectives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most notable arrests during the operation was <strong>Tamam Ali al-Sheikh<\/strong>, a former militia leader accused of orchestrating violence against civilians. Al-Sheikh was the head of the so-called \u201cTaramih\u201d forces, a pro-Assad militia accused of brutal crackdowns and war crimes. Authorities say he was apprehended in Maardes as part of a broader effort to dismantle armed groups loyal to the former government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security officials stated that the campaign aims to <strong>restore stability<\/strong> and prevent any resurgence of armed loyalist factions. \u201cThis is a necessary step to ensure security and justice for all Syrians,\u201d a security source told North Press on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ongoing Crackdowns Across Syria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the fall of Assad\u2019s rule, security and military authorities have conducted similar operations in other parts of the country, including <strong>Damascus, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor<\/strong>. Many former officials and militia leaders have either fled or gone into hiding, while others have been detained and face potential prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The security situation in Syria remains fragile, with various armed groups and external actors vying for influence. The new government has vowed to implement judicial reforms and hold accountable those responsible for war crimes. However, challenges persist, particularly in areas where remnants of the previous regime still maintain influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Impact on Civilians and Regional Dynamics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the crackdown targets former regime figures, civilians in affected areas remain cautious. \u201cWe want security, but we also need basic services and economic recovery,\u201d said a resident of Hama, who requested anonymity. The years-long conflict has left infrastructure in ruins, and many Syrians now prioritize rebuilding their lives over political disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International observers are closely monitoring the developments in Syria, especially as the country\u2019s new administration seeks diplomatic recognition and economic relief. Neighboring countries, including Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon, have expressed concerns about potential instability spilling across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As security forces continue their operations, the coming months will be crucial in determining whether Syria can transition towards a more stable and accountable governance structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kardo Roj HAMA, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Syrian security forces launched a large-scale operation on Tuesday in the northern countryside of Hama, targeting remnants of the former regime.
