Bloody tribal fight | Ten people killed and wounded in western Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: Reliable sources have informed SOHR that tension is growing in Matab Al-Bo Rashid village of Al-Jazarat town in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor in the wake of yesterday’s armed fight.

 

The fight erupted between people of “Al-Bakarah” tribe from Al-Qusaybah village and people of Al-Jabbour tribe from Matab Al-Bo Rashid village after dispute over the possession of a plot of land which is located on the administrative border between Al-Raqqah and Deir Ezzor.

 

The fierce clashes left at least ten casualties on both sides.

 

Yesterday, SOHR sources confirmed that SDF brought in more military reinforcement to Al-Tayyanah and Theban towns in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, boosting positions they established on Saturday.

 

According to SOHR sources, SDF released a group of people arrested a few hours earlier, while others were kept imprisoned for “belonging to regime-affiliated armed cells”.

 

On the other hand, SDF members and young people from Al-Shuhayl town beat another SDF member for “harassing a woman”, while she was crossing through a checkpoint in the town.
