The Syrian Network for Human Rights said at least 191 people whose bodies were identified were killed, including 174 civilians, among them nine children and eight women. It also documented field executions, sieges, shelling, and widespread arbitrary arrests, while the fate of more than 120 civilians remains unknown, and they are still counted among the forcibly disappeared to this day.
The network believes the actual toll is likely higher, given the existence of unidentified bodies that residents could not identify because of the siege conditions and the communications blackout that accompanied the events.
While the network documents the killing of 191 identified victims, local testimonies indicate that the actual number of victims may exceed 1,500, with additional bodies later found inside homes and basements. That leaves the final toll unresolved, according to the network.
