Syrian security forces and affiliated gunmen killed more than 340 civilians, the vast majority of them from the Alawite minority, over the last two days, Rami Abdulrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told Reuters on Saturday.
Syrian state media on Thursday cited an interior ministry source as saying "individual violations" had occurred during a government operation to crack down on militants linked to the ousted Assad regime and said it was working to address the incidents.
Reuters could not independently verify the reports.
