(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 58 army troops, including 17 officers, from the coastal city of Tartus were killed in February, pro-regime news feeds said.
The death toll included 4 general brigadiers, colonel, 2 lieutenant colonels and 11 lieutenants.
Residents of Tartus, the regime's powerful militant supplier, say no men left in the city. Funeral everywhere and everyday. The daily bloodshed pushed supporters of Bashar al-Assad and rebel factions to demand a solution ending 6 years of devastating war that once started in peaceful protests.
Tartus suffered decades of negligence and constant resentment in comparison with the next-door city of Latakia where services and tourism and fortune.
At least 470,000 people have been killed since the revolution erupted in March 2011, according to the Syrian Centre for Policy Research, a Beirut-based NGO.
