Shafaq News/ On Thursday, at least 13 police officers were killed in northern Syria’s coastal region as clashes escalated between security forces and supporters of the former Syrian regime, multiple sources confirmed.
A Syrian Defense Ministry official told Shafaq News that army units had been deployed to Jableh to reinforce police and security forces. "The death toll currently stands at 13 officers," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
Fighting in Jableh remains intense, a source familiar with the situation told Shafaq News, calling the clashes "the most dangerous since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime."
State news agency SANA reported that large military reinforcements were being sent to Jableh and its outskirts to support security forces and restore order. The Defense Ministry said these reinforcements were assisting in countering coordinated attacks by al-Assad loyalists.

Earlier, SANA reported that remnants of the former regime had attacked a security checkpoint near Jableh and targeted civilian vehicles. Local officials in Latakia province said security forces had encircled al-Assad loyalists in the villages of Beit Aana and Daliah, where gunfire had earlier struck a security vehicle.
