Family infighting | Three civilians killed and others injured due to armed clashes among cousins in eastern Deir Ezzor countryside
Deir Ezzor province: Three civilians were killed and others sustained various injuries during clashes with light and medium weapons among cousins from “Al-Alwan Al-Jasim” and “ Al-Maz’al Al-Habeib” families from “Al-Bujamil” tribe which belongs to “Al-Akidat” tribe due to old disputes between them in Al-Shuhail city in eastern Deir Ezzor countryside.
It is worth noting that the injured people were taken to a hospital for treatment.
This coincided with a state of high tension in the region, amid appeals to wise individuals to intervene and break up the clashes.
This comes in light of ongoing security chaos in SDF-held areas.
