Worrying security chaos | Violent clashes follow infighting among cousins in eastern Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: Violent clashes with light and medium weapons erupted among cousins from “Fakhz Al-Jasab” of “Al-She’aytat” tribe in Gharnaj town in east Deir Ezzor countryside following the stealing of a pistol. However, no casualties have been reported.

 

The clashes coincide with a state of growing tension and worrying security disorder in the region, amid appeals by residents to elders to interfere and break up the clashes.
