Clan fighting in Syria's Deir ez-Zor leaves casualties
2021-05-19
[NPASYRIA] On Tuesday, a clan fighting erupted in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, killing two civilians.

The two young men, Abdulrahman al-Heroubi and Ismail al-Heroubi were killed due to a clan fighting in the villages of Sabiha of the town of al-Suwar, 50 km north of Deir ez-Zor, a local source said.

The reason of the fighting is an old Dire Revenge between the families of al-Kabisa and al-Hathal, the source added.

During the fighting which lasted for 6 hours, machine guns were used, which led the Syrian Democratic Forces to interfere, set checkpoints between the two parties and impose a cordon in the village, according to the source.

Towns of the Deir ez-Zor countryside are known of their clan character, where there is always fighting between the clans in the region.
