Including women and children | Iranian-backed militias committee horrific mass-acre leaving 14 people kil-led and inju-red in Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: After midnight on Thursday-Friday, the Iranian-backed local gunmen committed a horrific massacre that resulted in the death of seven people, including four children, in addition to the injury of seven others, some of whom are in critical condition. They were taken to the hospital for treatment, what makes the death toll likely to increase, as a result of intensive shelling with mortar shells and heavy artillery from areas they are stationing in Al-Bulil village in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor on the western bank of the Euphrates River, targeting civilian houses in Al-Dahlah village, resulting in the death and injury of members of two families in the village, including women and children.
Yesterday, SDF fired tens of mortar shells on Toub area and the towns of Saalo, Al-Zubari and Al-Bulil from their positions east of the Euphrates River, within the areas controlled by the regime forces and Iranian militias in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, which resulted in the injury of three civilians in Al-Bulil town.
On August 7, the number of people killed increased to seven, who are one member of SDF, three members of Iran-backed local gunmen and three civilians, who were killed under shelling on residential areas.
Moreover, 19 civilians were injured in Zaiban, Gharanij and Al-Sabha Towns and Hai Al-Latwa neighbourhood.
