(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 38 troops from the coastal Tartus province killed in August by rebels and jihadist Tahrir al-Sham group in northwestern Syria, pro-regime activists said.
The death toll included 8 officers.
Most slain troops were killed in the northern countryside of Hama province by the Jihadist Tahrir al-Sham group and allied rebels.
Since the beginning of northwest Syria offensive late April, regime airstrikes have killed more than 1000 civilians and displaced more than 900,000.
Rebels and jihadists have killed more than 130,000 pro-regime forces since the armed conflict erupted eight years ago with the brutal repression of protests against Bashar al-Assad, according to local monitoring groups.
The conflict in Syria has also killed more than 560,000 people and displaced 6.5 millions.
