Family Members Found Dead After Disappearance; Kidnapping Incident Raises Fears in Al-Sabeel Neighborhood in Homs
-
The recurrence of targeting incidents in different areas points to the need for strengthening security measures and activating national reconciliation committees to prevent the country from sliding in

A family of five disappeared from their home in the Al-Sabeel neighborhood in Homs, only to be found deceased at Al-Waer Hospital. Concerns are growing in neighboring areas with the rising frequency of security incidents that may threaten the region's stability and citizens' safety.
Information indicates that the victims are: Ibrahim Muhammad Mansour, Saeed Muhammad Mansour, Kazem Saeed Mansour, Ibrahim Saeed Mansour, in addition to the boy Hassan Daniel, a middle school student. This painful incident reflects the security fragility witnessed in some Syrian areas amid increasing demands to strengthen preventive measures.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights explained that unknown gunmen entered the family's home located between Al-Sabeel and Al-Bayadiyah neighborhoods in Homs city. Relevant authorities face significant challenges in uncovering the circumstances of these incidents and working to prevent their recurrence amid complex security conditions.
According to sources, the gunmen were in a "Peugeot" car with visible damage to its front. This incident comes within a series of similar events witnessed in various Syrian governorates during the past months.
With this, the number of victims of retaliatory behavior and liquidation since the beginning of 2025 in various Syrian governorates has reached 470 people, distributed as follows: 455 men, 8 women, and 7 children. Fears are increasing of worsening social tension due to the escalation of these incidents and the absence of clear protection and accountability mechanisms.
Reactions on social media platforms vary, with some commenters demanding increased security measures and an end to the targeting, while others pointed to connections between what's happening and previous crises.
These comments confirm the depth of the crisis and the intertwining of causes with the complex history of the Syrian conflict. Among the comments, one citizen wrote: "There is no power or strength except through God," while another asked: "Until when? What is this horrible injustice?" This interaction shows the state of frustration and fear among a wide segment of Syrian citizens regarding the continuation of painful events.
A number of commenters expressed their denunciation of the incident, with one writing: "What is the fault of an entire family? What is the fault of a minor and university students?" These questions reflect the depth of public concern and demands to end violence targeting civilians regardless of their affiliations.
Another commenter called for the formation of "an international investigation committee for what is happening," indicating that "the government, with all impudence, is not taking a political decision to stop the systematic killing machine." This comment highlights demands for international intervention to stop the chain of violence and restore security and stability in the country.
In another comment, a citizen wrote: "God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs. And then... it's clear that there is no ability to restrain killers in the areas of Homs and the coast. Those in power don't understand that if people's lives continue to be violated in this way, the country will break into a thousand pieces." These comments show a state of lost confidence in the ability of official agencies to control the security situation and protect citizens amid the continuation of unfortunate events.
