(Zaman Al Wasl)- Despite the absence of accurate statistics about the number of regime force members from the coastal province who were killed in the first two days of the Great Epic Battle for Aleppo, but the death toll reaches into the tens. Among those killed are high ranked officers, regime force members, members of the National Defense militia and Suqur al-Sahara.
By observing the Facebook pages of pro-regime media outlets, it appears that all pro-regime towns and villages in the coastal province have suffered a loss. Even the smallest villages are holding condolences for someone killed in Aleppo or in some cases Hama.
Beit Yashout page counted the fall of 8 of its sons who were killed in Aleppo. Their bodies arrived on Saturday to be taken to the village “martyr” cemetery by a funeral procession.
Al-Bahlawaliyet area also held a funeral process for three of its sons, one of them an officer of the rank colonel, who were killed in battle in Aleppo on Friday. A funeral procession was also held for 3 fighters from al-Daatour, a suburb of Latakia city.
Media activist Mohammad al-Sahili indicated that a large number of bodies are still in the hospital morgues in Tartus, Latakia, and Jableh.
Regarding how the bodies arrival to the coastal province, al-Sahili said some arrive via military trucks using the Hama-Jableh route, while the bodies of officers are helicoptered into the province and land in hospital squares.
With an increase in the number of killed in the Great Epic Battle of Aleppo, objecting voices rose among regime supporters accusing the Iranian and Iraqi militia of betraying the regime forces and leaving them to face the terrorists alone. Others accused army officers of selling weapons to rebels and handing over headquarters without putting up a fight.
Pro-regime media outlets accused Russia of treachery and described, “its halt of bombing the terrorists,” as collusion with the universal conspiracy against the Syrian regime, but it confirmed that “al-Assad will prevail even if he must fight alone.”
It must be noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the lack of need to continue the Russian aerial bombardment on Aleppo despite sources agreeing on his participation in bombing the resistance.
