The death toll included 19 officers and 40 militants from Qalamoun Shield militia.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights said 923 civilians were killed in October by the Syrian regime, ISIS, Russia and the US-led coalition.
The human rights watchdog on November 1 said 398 of the deaths were killed by the Syrian regime, including 398 children and 62 women.
It added that 221 civilians, including 68 children and 36 women, were killed in airstrikes by Russia. 162 more civilians, including 24 children and 16 women, were killed by the Islamic State (Daesh).

Syria is embroiled in a six-year civil war that has killed more than 470,000 people and forced an estimated 5 million more to flee across borders to become refugees.
