Dear readers & subscribers,

I’m excited to reveal a whole new set of charts for Syria Weekly’s exclusive datasets! These should prove to be much more approachable that what preceded them, allowing you all to glean a lot more insight of timely value. A reminder that Syria Weekly’s datasets cover:

  • Violent deaths — by week/month & by governorate

  • Unexploded ordnance (UXO)

  • Non-UXO deaths

  • Israeli military action — ground incursions, air/artillery strikes, arrests

  • ISIS attacks — by week/month since 2023

  • Anti-government insurgent attacks — by governorate, by week/month

  • Vigilantism & revenge killings

  • Government captagon seizures

  • Lebanon-linked captagon seizures

  • Internal Suwayda [in]stability

  • Jordanian military action in Syria

  • Kidnappings — by governorate & by week/month

Here are a few key analytical takeaways from this month’s data update:
