And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has documented since the 25th of February 2018, and as a result of the violent clashes, the death of tens of members of the regime forces and their allies and of the Islamic factions operating in the Eastern Ghouta, where the Syrian Observatory documented that the number of the members of the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them has increased to 520 at least, including 63 members at least of non-Syrian nationalities, and the total death toll includes more than 94 officers of different ranks from lieutenants to brigadiers, while it has increased to 405 at least, the number of the fighters of Al-Rahman Corps, Jaysh Al-Islam, Ahrar Al-Sham Islamic movement and Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, who have been killed since the start of fighting on the 25th of February 2018, most of them are of the fighters of Al-Rahman Corps, and the SOHR also learned that there are tens of missing people and injuries in the ranks of the both parties.
