Aleppo province: Syrian Observatory activists documented the death of two men of one family after being shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Al-Firdous neighbourhood of Aleppo, which is controlled by regime.

According to SOHR activists, the murderer stabbed the two victims with a knife to death following the eruption of fighting between them at a house in Aleppo city’s Al-Zabadiyah neighbourhood.
