Dispute over pigeons | Death toll in Shamarkh camp north of Aleppo rises to three

Aleppo province: A young man succumbed to his injuries sustained the day before yesterday due to old disputes between two families over “pigeons” in Shamarkh camp north of Aleppo, bringing the death toll to three people.

Meanwhile, young men from Deir Hafer burned the cars and tents of the family of the killer, amid ongoing escalating tension in the area.

On December 2, two persons were killed and another was injured following an earlier dispute which evolved into clashes in a refugee camp on the outskirts of Shamarikh village near Azaz city in Aleppo countryside.

According to SOHR sources, a displaced man from Harbal in north Aleppo countryside stormed the camp and opened fire on several persons, killing two siblings from Nasr Allah village in Deir Hafir countryside in Aleppo and seriously injuring another, before he escaped. Ironically, security forces, which witnessed the incident, did not arrest the murderer or take any actions.

In mid November, SOHR activists documented the injury of a young man from Marae’ city in northern Aleppo countryside, due to intermittent clashes with light machineguns between two families in Marae’ city in northern Aleppo countryside due to disputes over land.

While on November 7, SOHR activists documented the death of an armed man displaced from Deir Ezzor city, affected by the wounds he sustained in violent clashes with light machineguns between two families from Deir Ezzor city near Fatima Al-Zahraa Mosque in the centre of Al-Bab city in eastern Aleppo countryside.
