While the international coalition warplanes killed 90 members at least from the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them by targeting the Artillery battalion and other sites in the vicinity of al-Thardeh Mountain in Deir Ezzor city.

 

We, in the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, believe that the human losses in the ranks of the “Islamic State” and other Islamic factions are greater than the number we managed to document so far, because of the extreme secrecy by the targeted parties about their human losses.

 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and with the international coalition’s completing for two years of airstrikes targeting the Syrian areas; which caused great destruction in the property of citizens, as well as killing 611 Syrian civilian citizens, including more than 250 children and citizen women, we strongly condemn targeting civilians in anywhere and under any pretext and in any time by the international coalition and these parties, because they went deaf regarding these persistent calls earlier by the Observatory repeatedly, the Observatory also renews the call to spare the civilians from any military action on the Syrian soil, because the sons of the Syrian people have had enough killing, where millions of them were killed, injured and displaced as the result of the shelling and bombing that targeted their areas, while the international community continues its horrifying silence towards the Syrian people’s pain and hopes of reaching the state of justice, equality, democracy and freedom, as well as punishing those who have killed and helped in the killing, and bringing them for justice in the specialized courts.
