According to the Consultation and Coordination Office of the Monitoring and Information Center, the number of civilians who lost their lives in North and East Syria within 24 hours from the night of December 8 to the night of December 9 reached 18 residents from the region, along with 5 injured. Additionally, 45 former Syrian regime army soldiers were killed, while the fate of 15 others remains unknown.

1- Al-Mastariha Massacre in Ain Issa:

The death toll of demobilized former Syrian regime soldiers rose to 45. They were targeted by missiles launched from Turkish drones while withdrawing from their border positions in the countryside of Ain Issa. The attack occurred in the village of Al-Mastariha in the Euphrates region. The strike happened hours after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime and his flight from Syria on the morning of December 8, 2024.

The former Syrian regime army was deployed in October 2019 to protect the border strip with Turkey under an agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
