On 7 May 2011, during the Civil uprising phase of the Syrian civil war, the Syrian military launched an operation in the Syrian city of Baniyas. The government said it was targeting terrorist groups, while the Syrian opposition called it a crackdown against pro-democracy protesters. The operation lasted until 14 May 2011. ==Background== On 15 March 2011, a protest movement against the Syrian government began to escalate, as simultaneous demonstrations took place in major cities across Syria. On 18 March, the most serious unrest to take place in Syria for decades erupted. After online calls for a "Friday of Dignity" ((アラビア語:جمعة الكرامة)), after Friday prayers, thousands of protesters demanding an end to alleged government corruption took to the streets of cities across Syria. The protesters were met with violent opposition by state security forces. The protesters chanted "God, Syria, Freedom" and anti-corruption slogans. On 9 April, unknown gunmen shot at a military bus traveling through Baniyas killing nine soldiers. On 10 April, protests were held in Baniyas in which violent clashes erupted between the security forces and protesters. Between three and six were reportedly shot dead, while one police officer was reportedly killed by unknown gunmen. On 14 April, snipers killed a Syrian Army soldier in Baniyas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Snipers kill soldier in Baniyas - Syrian state news agency )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Siege of Baniyas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
