Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar said the clashes on Sunday took place in the town of Qardahah in Latakia and Tartous. Al-Sharaa said that the country was confronting attempts to drag it into a civil war. The violence comes despite a call for peace by al-Sharaa earlier on Sunday. Serdar said that Syrian security forces have reported a loss of 230 of their own personnel. The majority of those killed have been civilians. Syrian opposition politician Labib al-Nahhas says violence is a "major setback" for post-Assad Syria. The new government must build a strong national, unified front. Regional stability Jordan hosted a regional conference on Sunday. Al-Assad’s overthrow in December ended more than five decades of dynastic rule by his family. Tens of thousands of Syrians were killed and millions were forced to flee the country or displaced internally as Syria descended into war.
