About 3600 persons were killed month after the collapse of the Russian–American truce in Syria

 

After 7 pm of the 19th of September 2016, military operations began to rise again over most of the Syrian territories, accompanied with airstrikes by the warplanes of the regime, Russia, Coalition and the Turks, amid artillery, rocket and mortar targeting for tens of cities, towns and villages, where the Syrian Observatory for human rights was able to document 3367 people were killed since the 19th of September 2016, the date of the collapse of the truce, until today the 19th of October 2016, the casualties were:

1302 civilians including 299 children under the age of 18 at least, and 179 females over the age of eighteen.

The rebel and Islamic fighters and The Syria Democratic Forces of which YPG is its backbone: 581

Defected soldiers and officers: 2

The regime forces: 315

Members from Popular Committees, NDF and militiamen loyal to the regime of Syrian nationality: 295

Militiamen from the Lebanese Hezbollah: 7

Non-Syrian Pro-regime mostly Shia militiamen: 37

Unidentified casualties: 49

Fighters from the rebel and Islamic factions, the “Islamic State”, Fath al-Sham Front, Jaish al-Mohajereen and al-Ansar and the Islamic Turkistan Party of non-Syrian nationalities: 779

We in the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights believe that the number of casualties is greater than the documented number, because of the extreme secrecy by the targeted parties about their death toll.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights renews its call to all international sides -despite the horrifying silence by the international community- to work more seriously for immediate stop of the Syrian people’s blood shedding and to put more pressure on the countries members of the members of the UN Security Council so these war crimes and the crimes against humanity are handled by the International Criminal Court. We in the Syrian Observatory demand the punishment of all perpetrators, instigators, collaborators and all individuals and sides who used the Syrian blood as a political card and as means to carry out their personal agendas, as well as those who transformed a revolution for dignity to a sectarian and ethnic civil war.
