BEIRUT: At least 384,000 people have died in Syria, including more than 116,000 civilians, since the war began in March 2011, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.
As the war enters its 10th year, the government of President Bashar al-Assad now controls more than 70% of Syrian territory, thanks to the military support of its allies Russia, Iran and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. At least 129,476 Syrian soldiers, allied forces and militiamen have died, according to the Britain-based war monitor, including 1,697 members of Hezbollah.
The Observatory tallied 67,296 deaths among jihadists loyal to IS or to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an alliance led by a former Al-Qaeda affiliate that dominates the last rebel enclave in the Idlib region in the northwest.After recent government advances, Idlib province is the last battleground between government forces, and the jihadists and their rebel allies.
