Unidentified gunmen kill 2 men in Deir ez-Zor
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Unidentified gunmen killed on Tuesday two men in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.
A local source told North Press that unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire with a machine gun on Haider Huwaider (34) and Fahd al-Farhan (32) near the vegetable market on the main road in the town of Hawaij.
The source added that the attack resulted in the immediate death of both men, while the assailants fled into the surrounding desert.
The incident comes just two days after two fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) went missing and others were wounded in separate shootings carried out by unknown gunmen on motorcycles in the towns of Shuhail and Diban. The Islamic State (ISIS) later claimed responsibility for those attacks.
