With 3,000 killed, Syria monitor says September deadliest month of 2017
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyria’s war killed at least 3,000 people including 955 civilians in September, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor says, in the deadliest month of the conflict this year.
“More than 70 percent of the civilians were killed in regime and Russian air strikes, or in air raids of the international coalition” fighting the Islamic State group, the Britain-based monitor’s head Rami Abdel Rahman says.
The number of people killed in September was higher due to increased fighting and “intensified air raids of the international coalition and Russia against jihadist bastions in the north and east of Syria, but also due to increased Russian and regime strikes on rebel-held areas,” he says.
