Dr. Salam Yussef Tohme, 70, was in good health and he did not suffer from any disease, the source assured.

Tohme's death came after he submitted requests last month to obtain the approval of the state intelligence to visit his brothers and sisters who live in Europe, but the request was rejected, and the news of his sudden death came a few weeks later.

The source said Tohme was aware of the murder of Dr. Mahmoud Ibrahim, Director of Planning at the Institute of Scientific Research in 2015 by the Syrian intelligence.

Tohme was the assistant director-general of the Center for Scientific Studies and Research in Damascus. He also supervised the fourth sector in the Institute of Scientific Research in the city of Masyaf after the killing of Dr. Aziz Asbar in the explosion of his car there in 2018. Tohme remained in his position until he retired a few months ago.

According to the source, Tohme was the main actor in moving the center's activities to produce various killing weapons, including chemical stockpile.

Tohme holds a Ph.D. in mechanics from the British University of Notreham in 1983. He was born in the predominantly Christian village of Matn al-Sahel near the city of Tartus.

Five Syrian soldiers and three pro-regime militia fighters were among those killed in the Daesh attack on one of their positions in a desert region of Deir Ezzor province, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Eleven others were wounded, some of them critically, meaning the death toll could climb, the war monitor added.

Daesh in 2014 overran large parts of Syria and Iraq and proclaimed a cross-border “caliphate” before multiple offensives in the two countries led to its territorial defeat.

The group was overcome in Syria in March 2019, but sleeper cells continue to launch attacks in the vast Badia desert spanning from central Syria eastwards to the border with Iraq.

Since the start of the year, Daesh sleeper cells have upped their attacks on regime forces, killing at least 44, including soldiers and foreign paramilitaries, the Observatory says.

Among these, on Saturday, Daesh gunmen killed seven regime loyalists in the Deir Ezzor town of Al-Shola.

Another 15 Syrian troops have gone missing after a Daesh attack on regime forces in the central province of Hama on Friday, according to the Observatory.

Their bus was found torched at the weekend, but there was no sign of the men who are likely dead or held captive by jihadists, the monitor added. Syrian regime media did not report the incident.

In a separate incident last week, the Observatory said Daesh gunmen in central Syria had ambushed a bus carrying government soldiers as well as fuel tankers in another part of Hama province.

The ambush resulted in the deaths of eight soldiers, four allied fighters and three civilians, the Observatory said.

Daesh said it was behind a December 30 bus ambush in Deir Ezzor province, which killed at least 39 Syrian soldiers.

More than 387,000 people have been killed and millions forced from their homes since Syria’s civil war broke out in 2011.

A well-informed source confirmed that most of the slain fighters were from the Shiite villages of Nubl and al-Zahraa in Aleppo’s countryside. The villages were evacuated in in 2018 in Iranian deal with the former al-Qaeda group.

After burying the villagers inside the Assad Academy of Military Engineering, the regime no longer allowed their families to visit their graves except on a few occasions and days, according to the same source.

One of the facts revealed by the graveyard is that the regime pursues Syrians in sectarian discrimination even post-mortem, manifested by the interest in the dead from areas that provide more human resource and are considered as more loyal.

Bashar al-Assad's quite attentive towards the fellow Alawites fighters and troops of the coastal region, as he tries in various ways to transfer their bodies to their areas to be buried among their families, whatever the cost, while the bodies of dead from the mentioned towns are buried in a graveyard behind impregnable military walls.

While the regime buries the rest of its soldiers west of Aleppo, holding thousands of dead, only hundreds of meters away from the walls of the Academy.

According to the source, the regime has displaced these fighters from their villages and towns to fight alongside its forces in the burning fronts of Aleppo, only for those who are killed to be buried in a cemetery prepared for them inside the walls of the Military Academy based on their sect, so as not to “burden” the regime with returning their corpses to their villages.

The source revealed that the burial in the Academy’s cemetery began in 2013, and continued until the siege of the towns of Nubl and al-Zahraa in 2016, confirming that it holds about 500 bodies of people from these two towns belonging to one sectarian group. Each line of the graveyard, as shown by the aerial photos, holds about 40 bodies.

Although the cemetery reveals the extent of the losses suffered by Assad forces, this number does not include all the dead from these two towns. Many of the dead that were possible to be moved to or who died near their villages were buried in there in private cemeteries. Not counting the dozens who are still unaccounted for (missing) with families still looking for news about them.

One of the nurses working in Aleppo military hospital revealed that the bodies inside the graves do not necessarily match the recorded names. In many cases, the regime's army and security staff used to bury unidentified persons under the names of people who had been confirmed dead, whose bodies were destroyed on the battlefield and it was difficult to identify their features, to avoid the trouble of answering their families about their fate.

The Alawites-dominated areas are still the main manpower supply for Bashar al-Assad's regime.
