(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 97 regime troops from central Homs province were killed in January by ISIS, rebels and former al-Qaeda group in Syria, according to local activists.
The death toll included 14 officers killed in the northern provinces of Idlib and Hama, eastern Homs countryside and in the eastern suburbs of Damascus.
More than 119,000 pro-regime forces have been killed, including 62,000 troops, tens of thousands of loyalist militiamen, and 1,556 fighters from Hezbollah, according to a new estimate by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Alawites-dominated areas still the main manpower supply for Bashar al-Assad's regime. The mourning posters and statements have been sweeping the streets and pro-regime social media.
More than 470,000 people have been killed and 12 millions have been driven from their homes since Syria's revolutions erupted in 2011.
