Tribal infighting kills child in Syria's Deir ez-Zor
2021-11-15
[NPASYRIA] On Sunday, a little girl died of her injury from a stray bullet as a result of a family quarrel in the town of al-Shuhail, 40 km east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

"A 14-year-old girl lost her life by stray bullets during a quarrel between al-Hassan and al-Khababsa families in the town," North Press reported a local source in al-Shuhail.

The girl was found in a farmland near her house, where she was bleeding and lost her life, the source added.

On Sunday afternoon, a clash took place between the two families due to an old dispute, in which machine guns and RPG-7s were used, according to the same source.

The wise men and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were called for urgent intervention to end the festivities.

Recently, Deir ez-Zor countryside has witnessed tribe-based family quarrels and fights, which caused more deaths and injuries.
