New assassination | Young man shot dead in regime areas in Rif Dimashq

Rif Dimashq province: A young man was shot dead by a person in Karam Samady neighbourhood in Jirmana city in Rif Dimashq, due to person disputes over money between them.

This came in light of the escalating rate of crimes in regime-held areas, coinciding with the security chaos.
Since early 2023, the Syrian Observatory has documented 17 murders in regime-controlled areas, where domestic violence and armed robbery were behind some of these murders, while motivations behind the others remained unknown. These murders left 18 civilians: Five women, and 13 young and adult men, dead.
The fatalities are distributed regionally as follows:
• Al-Suwaydaa: Three men.
• Rif Dimashq: Five men and a woman.
• Homs: One woman and a young man.
• Hama: Two men.
• Daraa: One man.
• Damascus: One woman and one man.
