Al-Hattaniya

On the evening of March 9, 2025, Al-Hattaniya became a site of systematic destruction. After residents fled to the neighboring forests to escape advancing armed groups, 56 houses were methodically set on fire. The raid left 14 civilians martyred, including women who were unable to reach the safety of the woods. The village, now largely a collection of charred ruins, remains a symbol of the "scorched earth" tactics used during the coastal campaign to prevent the return of Alawite families.
