DEIR EZ- ZOR, Syria (North press) – On Wednesday, unidentified persons shot an elderly man to death, in the town of Thiban, 50 km east of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.
“Masked persons fired at the 75-year-old Thiban Alwan al-Jassem with a silencer pistol, which immediately led to his death, while the attackers fled,” a local source from the town said.
