    Karen Leigh reported on the Battle for Latakia, how the province long seen as an Assad stronghold is now fracturing with rebel commanders planning to confront Alawites holding the city. This makes Latakia important to watch as sectarian violence may rise in Syria's future. Kurds are now caught between Islamist groups and the PKK. US college students launched Syria Deeply on Campus to support UNHCR's Zaatri refugee camp in Jordan. The weekly roundup included increased fighting, Russians leaving Syria, more Syrians fleeing to Jordan, rebels accused of attacking a Shiite site, and 20,000 Palestinians fleeing to Lebanon.

    This Week in Syria, Deeply

    Dear Deeply Readers, This week we posted Karen Leigh's exceptional reporting from the ground on the Battle for Latakia, a two-part series. Specifically, she chronicled how a province long seen as an Assad stronghold is now fraying at the edges, rebel commanders planning for a showdown with the Alawites still holding Latakia city. A much-feared rise in sectarian violence, and other potential reprisals in Syria's future, make Latakia a key piece to watch. Our Mohammed Sergie posted his weekly column on Syria's Social Media Buzz, while we analyzed how Kurds are now caught between Islamist groups and the PKK. A group of US college students inspired by our Google Hangouts launched an initiative called Syria Deeply on Campus, initially focused on a campaign to support UNHCR in the Zaatri refugee camp. As always, here's our roundup of the week in review: Monday: Syrian Opposition Postpones Formation of Transitional Government; Patriot Missiles Reach Turkey Tuesday: Fighting Rages as Russians Leave Syria; Spike in Syrians Fleeing to Jordan Wednesday: Rebels Accused of Attack on Shiite Religious Site; 20,000 Palestinians Flee to Lebanon Thursday: Syria Calls 'Million Man Prayers' on Friday; 650,000 Have Fled Syria, Says UN Friday: Syria Sends Forces to Sunni Areas of Homs ; New Refugee Camp to Open in Jordan as Numbers Rise
