The death toll of Palestinian soldiers from the Palestine Liberation Army in Syria has risen to 228 victims. The Monitoring and Documentation Team in the Action Group for Palestinians of Syrian announced that most of the victims died after clashes erupted in different parts of Syria, most of which were in rural Damascus.
The area of Tel Kurdi, located between the cities of Duma and Adra, carried the majority of the army’s casualties, followed by Tal Sawan near a Kurdish hill and Swaida area, south of Syria.
This comes amid claims through letters and calls the Action Group received, from activists and the families of victims and the soldiers committed to serve, demanding the members of the Palestine Liberation Army and the related parties not to involve their children in the conflict in Syria, and not to send them to the areas of tension.
About six thousand Palestinians fight for the Palestinian Liberation Army in Syria across more than 15 sites distributed throughout Syria, including three thousand engaged in combat, as announced by the army’s commander.
Palestinian refugees in Syria are obliged to serve in the Liberation Army, and those who fail to join are subject to prosecution and imprisonment, leading thousands of young men to emigrate abroad.
