The attacks on the synagogues were basically fights between the terrorist attackers and the police and private guards guarding the synagogues. That's where most of the 15 police died who lost their lives fighting the terrorists.
The terrorists attacked out of the blue, hence the many casualties among police, and they managed to throw firebombs into at least one of the synagogues to completely burn out the interior. But there were no worshippers inside or other personnel, so apparently the only fatalities at the synagogues were police and guards.
Given the demographic makeup of Dagestan, it's almost certain that some of the policemen who died defending the synagogues were Muslim. I haven't seen the full list so I can't confirm that.
