Of nearly 1,000 civilians killed, nearly 200 were in Baniyas , a Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.

Samir Haydar , his wife and two sons escape just in time; his two older brothers and a nephew were also killed.

This past weekend ’s sectarian violence was possibly among the bloodiest 72 hours in the modern history of Syria after 14 years of civil war.

In Tuwaym , an Alawite village in the Sunni -majority Hama province in central Syria , a resident says gunmen summoned the men, beat them with rifles and shot some.

In Baniyas and elsewhere, bodies were left lying in streets, cars and apartment buildings, residents say.

"Recovery from this won't be easy," says one resident.
