An unidentified civilian was shot dead on January 6, 2024, by gunmen we have not yet been able to identify while he was sheepherding in al-Badea area in southern Tadmur city in eastern rural Homs governorate. A large number of sheep were also killed in the attack.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that the gunmen also abducted another civilian and took him to an undisclosed location.
SNHR is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in their areas, to investigate this incident, and to make the investigation’s findings known to the public. Syria will never have true stability without a genuine political transition process towards democracy within a fixed timetable.
