Mourners pray over the coffin in Tartous, Syria, of Ibrahim Yeya Issa, a 32-year-old Army soldier killed fighting Islamist rebels, near his grave in an unused plot of city-owned land. So many young men from Tartous, which is fanatically loyal to President Bashar Assad, have been killed fighting in Syria’s civil war that there is no more room in the city’s cemetaries. (Jonathan S.
