(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 30 fighters loyal to Bashar al-Assad were killed when Daesh (ISIS) launched surprise attack on their bases in eastern Deir Ezzor province.
The Fifth Corps, a paramilitary group formed by volunteers and no trained men, has mourned 30 personnel, saying they had been killed in ISIS attack on the towns of al-Kamsha and la-Gharbiya on Thursday.
More than 119,000 pro-regime forces have been killed, including 62,000 troops, tens of thousands of loyalist militia, and 1,556 fighters from Hezbollah, according to a new estimate by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The militant group still holds patches of desert on either side of the Euphrates River in Deir Ezzor province, as well as isolated pockets of ground elsewhere in Syria.
More than 470,000 people have been killed and 12 millions have been driven from their homes since Syria's revolutions erupted in 2011.
