Deir Ezzor province: Residents of the villages of Muhaymidah, Hawayij, Al-Bosam’a, Sferah and Al-Hesan, including people from “Al-Bakarah” tribe, staged a sit-in protest and set fire to rubber tyres, blocking streets. The protestors called for holding accountable the murderers of the two girls in Al-Suwar town in Deir Ezzor countryside.
