Statistics : 205 civilians killed in incidents of security disorders and bombing in Syria

The so-called “de-escalation” stretching from the north-eastern mountains of Latakia to the north-western suburbs of Aleppo city running through both Hama and Idlib,  is witnessing a continuous military escalation.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the escalation primarily focused on the southern sector of Idlib countryside, more than the eastern sector of Idlib countryside and towns and villages of the Al-Ghab Plain in the north-western Hama countryside, the Latakia Mountains and the western countryside of Aleppo.

SOHR monitored Damascus government and Russia’ violations against the Syrians in the region during 2021, or the security chaos in the areas occupied by Turkey, which negatively affects lives of citizens in light of the difficult living conditions.

Also, 84 members of Damascus government forces, and 141 mercenaries affiliated with Turkey, including mercenaries from Uzbeks and Turkestan, were killed in the clashes, ground shelling and targeting between the two parties.

Nearly 120 people killed and wounded in incidents of security disorders

The security chaos is still strongly present in the areas occupied by Turkey from Syria ,SOHR documented the death of 85 persons since the beginning of 2021 in bombings, shooting or kidnapping and then disposing of many bodies in remote areas: 41 civilians, including two children and 6 female citizens, 35 Syrian mercenaries from Tahrir al-Sham and mercenaries of Turkey, and 9 mercenaries of non-Syrian nationalities were killed and at least 78 people were injured in these operations.

28 Turkish soldiers killed and wounded in attacks

A jihadist group known as “Ansar Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq” Battalion carried out attacks in 2021, targeting Turkish convoys and military posts in Idlib. These attacks left ten Turkish soldiers dead and 18 others wounded.

Deteriorating humanitarian situation

The human suffering is exacerbated day after day in the random displacement camps which located on the border strip with Iskenderun, north and northwest of Idlib, in summer and winter. The people suffer from poor living conditions and instability as a result of the bombing and targeting of facilities and infrastructure, in addition to the outrageous high prices and control of Turkey’s mercenaries in the joints of life, especially with the adoption of the Turkish lira in those areas and its deterioration in front of foreign currencies.
