Again, they are deliberately targetting towns and cities. I don't know how it is in your country, but in Turkey, usually civillians are living in towns and cities. You think they are attacking only the fortified positions of the terrorists. Then how come this much of people died?
Which part of the explanation you dont understand?
1. Terrorists take over some districts in the cities. Fortifies their positions.
2. Syria asks civilians to leave those districts, if they arent already gone.
3. Syria sends army to clear out the terrorists, by all means possible - planes and artillery, then tanks with soldiers on foot to clear out the remaining cells. Thats exactly the same tactic as US is using in the urban war. It minimizes the army loses, and maximizes the loses of the enemy.
About death count, we dont know the real number. Regardless, here is the food for thought:
1. More than 30% of dead are Syria's military and police.
2. We can assume 40-50% are the terrorists. Since they arent that well armed and trained as the regular army. Nor they have air support. Nor they have the support of the locals.
3. That leaves 20-30% of actual civilians. There are plenty of evidence of terrorists targeting civilians, there is zero proof of army doing the same. Granted, some civilians died from the cross-fire from both sides, thats unfortunate and unavoidable in the urban warfare, but again - fault for such urban fights is on the terrorists and their supporters, NOT the army who tries to defend the country.
You don't need to show me anything. I've already watched them and unlike you i'm not trying to justify their disgusting acts.
I know I dont have to show you the evidence of terrorists massacres - we all have seen it. However, none of us seen the evidence I'm asking for 100'th time - since it doesnt exist.
