[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
On Tuesday, button men affiliated with an Iranian faction killed a fisherman in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor after he was accused of smuggling between the areas held by the Autonomous Administration and the Damascus government. A source in the pro-Iranian ninth regiment in the town of Aldwair, 80 km east of Deir ez-Zor, said that the 36-year-old Muhannad al-Ali, lost his life by the bullets of the regiment members stationed near the Euphrates. He told North Press that the regiment’s button men tried to frighten the fisherman because they suspected him of smuggling. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... a relative of the murdered young man said that there is no truth to these accusations, and that "he was a fisherman and nothing more." The pro-Iranian groups have controlled the areas of the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, west of the Euphrates, since ISIS was defeated there in late 2018. On June 10, a member of the pro-Iranian Hashimioun faction lost his life during an attempted robbery in the town of Abu Kamal on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
