Security chaos | Armed group targets civilian and his son in Al-Suwaydaa

Al-Suwaydaa province: masked members of an armed group driving two cars opened fire on a member of “Aboud” Family, the owner of commercial stores, and his son for unknown reasons, injuring them and they were taken to the hospital. Meanwhile the gunmen fled to an unknown destination.

Regime-held areas have been witnessing security chaos and an increase in the rate of assassinations and operations by unidentified people.

On November 3, SOHR activists reported that an armed gang kidnapped a civilian in his 60s, while he was heading towards Lebanon through western Homs countryside. Meanwhile, the members of the gang contacted the family of the kidnapped civilian, demanding a ransom of 10,000 USDs for his release.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the civilian hails from Amra village north eastern of Al-Swuaydaa, and works in trading dairy products, and headed to Lebanon for migration due to the harsh living conditions in the region.
