SOHR: ISIS killed more than 4,000 people since its defeat in Syria
Since 2019, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has been documenting the death toll of ISIS in Syria, where the mercenaries have killed some 4,100 people in more than 2,500 attacks.
ISIS mercenaries have killed more than 4,000 people in Syria since they lost their last stronghold in the country in 2019, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) today.
In March 2019, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the defeat of ISIS in its last stronghold following months of fighting.
According to the SOHR, ISIS has “killed some 4,100 civilians and military personnel in over 2,500 operations within the areas of influence of the Syrian regime and the SDF.”
The total number of victims was 4,085, of whom more than half were killed in the Syrian Badia, from rural Damascus to the Iraqi border, according to the SOHR.
“About 2,744 people have been killed by ISIS since its formal collapse in 2019, in scattered areas of the Syrian Badia during more than 914 operations,” the SOHR said.
The SOHR pointed out that “hardly a day goes by without ISIS carrying out bombings, ambushes, assassinations or kidnappings. All of these operations are concentrated in the Aleppo-Hama-Raqqa triangle, the eastern Homs desert, the Raqqa desert, and in Badia Deir-ez-Zor. These operations are countered by periodic security campaigns carried out by Damascus forces and their loyal groups, with intensive air support from Russian warplanes that target Badia on an almost daily basis.”
In a report published in January, the United Nations said that its estimate was that ISIS still had between 3,000 and 5,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria.
