Massacre location: Deir Ba’alba massacre, which is made of three neighborhoods: al-Kassara, the Southern neighborhood, and the Northern neighborhood.
The massacres were committed in the three neighborhoods: breaking into the houses by Alawite Shabiha (militiamen), accompanied by security forces and army, which most leaders are from the Alawite sect too, where they performed systematic field executions in different ways, burned bodies, looted, and raped many women.
The residents and the activists who were able to enter Deir Ba’alba days after the Massacre. The evidence of the atrocities against the residents was the smell of the degrading bodies.
There were breaking into the houses, killing of their residents, mass detaining of hundreds of the people, and then executing operations were followed by bodies burning and deformation and burying them in mass graves.
