Murder | Elder shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Al-Qamishli city

Al-Hasakah province: SOHR activists have reported that unidentified gunmen have shot dead a 65-year-old man in Al-Qamishli city, amid reports that the motive behind the murder is “revenge.”

Earlier today, SOHR sources reported a horrific crime in light of the ongoing escalation of murders throughout Syria, when a woman and one of her daughters were killed, and another daughter sustained serious injuries after being attacked in the SDF-controlled village of Al-Hamra in Al-Ajajah area in the southern countryside of Al-Hasakah. According to Observatory sources, the attackers killed the mother by hitting her on the head with a sharp tool and slaughtering the daughter with a knife, while the other daughter was stabbed also with a knife and was taken to the hospital. However, the identities of the attackers and the motives behind committing this horrific crime remained unknown.

It is worth noting that the woman lived only with her two daughters in that village, while investigations by security services in the region have been underway.
