Family fight | Clashes in al-Hasakah countryside leave one dead and others wounded

SOHR sources have reported that a civilian was killed and others were injured, some seriously, in an armed fight between two families of Badina tribe in Tel Karmah village which is located nearly 13 kilometres to the east of al-Darbasiyyah in SDF-held areas in al-Hasakah countryside.

On March 30, SOHR activists documented the death of a person due to an armed fight between two families in Gharnij town, which is under the control of Syria Democratic Forces, in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

 

While on March 3, SOHR sources reported tribal fight in Al-Izbah area in SDF-held areas in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor following disagreement over the investment of an oil well in the region. The clashes resulted in the injury of several gunmen including a commander of “Deir Ezzor Military Council” of the conflicting tribes.
