They were both executed at the hands of ISIS militants on charges of spying for the Syrian regime’s army. “The Sharia Court has accused them of leaking security information about ISIS in Palmyra to the Syrian army,” a local media activist told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Al-Zoabi and al-Sayik were publicly executed by firing squad on Thursday afternoon,” the source reported.
