    Stolen Property and Destroyed Villages: Returning to Sere Kaniye Ends in Disappointment

    One of the forcibly displaced residents of Sere Kaniye documented the extent of destruction and theft that affected their property, making life there extremely difficult due to widespread devastation.

    As a number of displaced people began returning individually to their villages from which they were forced to flee following the occupation of Sere Kaniye by Turkey and its mercenaries at the end of 2019, the immense scale of damage to properties and villages in the area became evident, reflecting a tragic and deeply disappointing reality.

    Some returnees visited the village of Um Shaifa, located north of the city of Tal Tamr on the road to Zarkan, to inspect their property. According to photos and footage, there were systematic acts of looting and theft of homes and possessions, alongside massive destruction of what remained. Houses have become nothing more than abandoned shells, devoid of the most basic necessities for living and life.

    The countryside of the town of Tal Tamr, northwest of Hasakah Governorate, witnessed on Saturday, March 28, 2026, the crash of an Iranian drone near the village of Al-Hamra. Local sources reported that the drone fell in the area without causing any human casualties.

    This event comes amid increasing reports of intensive drone activity in the region, with other sources indicating that several drones were shot down in the vicinity of Tal Tamr and near other villages such as Tel Misas.

The recent attacks are believed to have originated from neighboring Iraqi territory.

    In addition, the Deputy Minister of Defense for the Eastern Regions, Samir Oso, known as “Sipan Hamo,” condemned the attacks on eastern areas of Syria and held the Iraqi government responsible.

  • Allegations of a real estate deal concluded in Jobar with a Jewish investor

    Allegations of a real estate deal concluded in Jobar with a Jewish investor

    Some reports have recently circulated claiming that a major real estate deal allegedly took place in the Jobar neighborhood of the capital, Damascus, involving the transfer of ownership of more than 75% of the neighborhood’s land to a Jewish investor, while the remaining properties are designated for exclusive housing for specific groups.

  • Continuation of violations and displacement in Sweida amid calls for accountability and protection of civilians

    Continuation of violations and displacement in Sweida amid calls for accountability and protection of civilians

    A recent report issued by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria revealed the continued occurrence of serious violations in Sweida Governorate in southern Syria, including cases of abduction and unlawful detention affecting hundreds of people, despite the later release of a large number of them.

    According to the report, around 100 individuals from the Druze community and 120 from the Bedouins, in addition to 30 government employees and volunteers in the Syrian Civil Defense, remain missing. The fate of three Bedouin women, one girl, and three Druze women also remains unknown so far, while previous reports that spoke of large numbers of missing women have not been verified.

    The report indicated that the violence took on a clearly gendered nature, as men and boys were specifically targeted, with reports of sexual assaults against women and girls, including cases of rape. Only a limited number of these incidents have been confirmed so far, while investigations are still ongoing to determine the scale of the violations.

    On the ground, Sweida Governorate continues to witness sharp division, with political dialogue halted and clashes ongoing without changes in lines of control since 19 July. Reports related to acts of violence between Druze groups and the imposition of movement restrictions by local armed groups are also under investigation.

    Regarding the humanitarian situation, the report stated that about 155,000 out of 200,000 people displaced during the events of July remain unable to return to their homes, most of them from affected Druze villages. The majority of the Bedouin population also remains forcibly displaced, with many living in inadequate conditions after eight months.

    Other communities, including Christians and Sunnis from non-Bedouin groups, also indicated a continued state of fear and insecurity, amid concerns over a resurgence of violence.

    Commissioner Monia Ammar confirmed in the report that the Syrian state bears the primary responsibility for ensuring the protection of the rights of all civilians, while also stressing that local armed groups bear obligations under international humanitarian law, including holding perpetrators of violations accountable, revealing the fate of the missing, and ensuring the return of displaced persons and the protection of their property.

    The report also pointed to the escalation of hate speech and incitement to violence during the events, driven by the spread of misinformation and fabricated videos, including unverified claims regarding harm to children and fetuses, which contributed to deepening divisions and complicating reconciliation efforts.

    The report called for intensified efforts to achieve accountability, the adoption of effective measures to prevent the recurrence of violations, and the promotion of community reconciliation, alongside combating hate speech, particularly online. It also urged the international community to support the government in implementing these recommendations and called on external parties to avoid any steps that could lead to further escalation and threaten the lives of civilians

  • Flooding of the Khabur River inundates southern neighborhoods of Al-Hasakah

    Flooding of the Khabur River inundates southern neighborhoods of Al-Hasakah

    The southern neighborhoods of Al-Hasakah, particularly the neighborhoods of Ghuwayran and Al-Meridian, are witnessing widespread flooding as a result of the rising water level of the Khabur River following a wave of heavy rainfall that struck the region over the past days. Aerial images showed water submerging entire homes and streets, and parts of the city turning into vast bodies of water, leading to disruption of movement and the closure of some main roads.

    According to local sources, the water has significantly exceeded the riverbanks, flowing toward low-lying residential neighborhoods, causing extensive material damage to properties and infrastructure, in addition to the displacement of a number of families to safer areas. Reports also indicated a partial interruption in electricity and water services in some affected neighborhoods, amid difficulties faced by emergency teams in reaching certain locations due to the high water level.

    Meanwhile, rescue teams and local authorities continue response operations by opening temporary drainage channels and using pumps to remove water, alongside calls for residents to exercise caution and avoid approaching the river course. Authorities also warned of the possibility of continued rise in water levels if rainfall renews, which threatens to worsen the humanitarian situation in the coming hours and days

    Continuation of the Closure of the Embassy of Canada in Syria with No Prospect of Reopening

    The Government of Canada continues the suspension of operations of the Embassy of Canada in Syria in the capital, Damascus, since March 2012, against the backdrop of deteriorating security conditions with the escalation of the conflict in the country, with no indications so far of its reopening. In the latest official confirmation issued during March 2026, the Canadian government emphasized that there are no near-term plans to resume diplomatic activities within Syria, noting the continued assessment of the security and political situation. In parallel, Canada relies on its diplomatic missions in neighboring countries to provide consular services to Syrians, as visa and immigration applications are processed through its embassies abroad, in addition to official electronic platforms, within alternative arrangements aimed at ensuring the continuity of services despite the closure of the mission in Damascus

  • Warning Against Unsafe Return to Sere Kaniye

    Warning Against Unsafe Return to Sere Kaniye

    The Committee of Displaced Persons from Sere Kaniye issued a statement confirming that the security, military, and administrative conditions in the city remain unstable, making the return of the displaced at the present time fraught with risks, especially if carried out individually or in an unorganized manner.

    The committee explained that it is working in coordination with the relevant parties to create appropriate conditions for a safe and sustainable return, based on the provisions of the January 29 agreement, stressing that any return must be preceded by a set of basic conditions.

    It indicated that a safe return should be voluntary, dignified, and free from any pressure, and should take place in an organized manner under clear supervision, with the provision of real security guarantees that ensure the protection of returnees. It also emphasized the necessity of restoring all rights and properties to their legitimate owners, ending any demographic changes, in addition to establishing a lawful civil administration that respects the will of the original inhabitants.

    The committee warned against calls that encourage return in the absence of these guarantees, considering them irresponsible and potentially exposing the displaced to new risks and violations.

    In the conclusion of its statement, it affirmed that its position is firm: rejecting any return before the necessary guarantees are provided and the relevant agreements are implemented, in a way that ensures the restoration of rights and the achievement of a safe and stable environment, noting the continuation of its efforts and coordination with various parties to achieve a safe and dignified return for the displaced.
