Nearly 8,000 killed in Syria within six months, 75 percent civilians

At least 7,670 people, mainly civilians, have been killed in Syria since the fall of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s government and the establishment of a new transitional authority, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on 8 June. 

According to the war monitor, the number includes more than 2,130 “extrajudicial executions” and “identity-based killings.”

It warned of a “pattern of organized violence” across the country. 

The SOHR report documents “the killing of 7,670 people across Syria from 8 December 2024 to 6 June 2025,” adding that among those killed are “5,784 civilians, including 306 children and 422 women.”
