Rampant security chaos | Young man shot dead by unidentified persons in Al-Suwaidaa

SOHR activists have reported that a young man was shot by unknown persons, near an industry school in Al-Suwaidaa city, south of Syria in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The young man has been taken to the national hospital, and then died of his injuries this morning.

This comes in light of the chaos and insecurity that pervade Syria.

Since early 2022, The Syrian Observatory has documented 75 murders in regime-controlled areas, where domestic violence and armed robbery were behind some of these murders, while the motivations behind the others remained unknown.

• A young lady and three men in Damascus.

• Five children, two old men, two women and six men in Rif Dimashq.
