Civilian killed in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor countryside
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – On Wednesday, garbage men in a town in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria, found the body of a young man that showed signs of torture, without knowing the cause of the killing.
“The garbage men found the body of Abdullah al-Ghallab, 32, a resident of the town of al-Baghouz, near a dumpsite in the nearby Desert,” a source close to the family in the town, said.
“Al-Ghallab had disappeared since leaving the house five days ago, until his body was found this afternoon in the garbage dump, bearing signs of physical torture,” the source added.
“Al-Ghallab was not affiliated to any political party or military faction.”
However, one of the residents of al-Baghouz, believed that the reason for the killing was due to tribal disputes, while others did not rule out that ISIS is behind every crime takes place in the region.
For couple of months, the Syrian Democratic Forces’ members, employees of the Autonomous Administration, tribal notables and residents of the countryside of Deir ez-Zor have been subjected to more assassinations, which ISIS has claimed some.
During the past weeks, the number of casualties and injuries increased as a result of family quarrels and infightings in the tribal-style countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
Last week, a resident of the village of Ghariba Sharqiyeh was killed in a revenge action. In another incident, a young man was wounded by a stray bullet while passing by the town of Abu Hamam, east of Deir ez-Zor, which witnessed a tribal infighting between two families.
On August 9, residents of the town of Muwelih, north of Deir ez-Zor, found the body of a young man near the oil primitive refineries.
On July 27, another person was killed in a tribal infighting in the town of al-Jardhi, east of Deir ez-Zor.
