Damascus: At least 237 people have been killed in Syria's coastal region since the latest military escalation began on Thursday, according to casualty figures released by a war monitor on Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that military personnel, opposition fighters, and civilians were among those killed as government forces continued their crackdown on remnants of the former regime's military factions in the governorates of Latakia, Tartous, and Hama.
