DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – On Saturday, residents of the town of al-Jirzi in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, found the body of a young man a day after he was kidnapped by gunmen.

A source of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the town said that the residents found the body of Muhammad al-Hamad where he was shot dead.

The source added that al-Hamad was not affiliated with any military faction or political wing.
