After a week of his injury | Young man from Al-Suwaidaa dies in Damascus hospital

Al-Suwaidaa province: SOHR activists have documented the death of a young man in Damascus hospitals, affected by the wounds he sustained nearly a week ago, following disputes with another person, where he was surrounded in his house and killed by members of a local faction in Qanawat town in Al-Suwaidaa countryside.

SOHR activists have reported that members of an armed faction in Qanawat town surrounded the house of a young man to arrest him, where he shot them and they shot back directly at him, killing him and setting his house on fire.

This comes after the young man tried to assassinate another person, who was severely injured and transported to a hospital to receive proper medication.
