80th murder in regime-held areas in 2022 | Child found dead in rural Al-Quneitra province

SOHR sources have reported that an 11-year-old boy was found dead after being beaten with a sharp tool on the head.

He was also found undressed in the farmland in Al-Hamidiyah village in Al-Quneitra countryside.

According to the residents, the child goes out to herd sheep, and he is a heart patient.
