ISIS has left wounds that would not heal in the memory of al-Raqqa people, for four years of their occupation of the city, where no one has been released from their practices

The family of Khalaf Obeid al-Nazal 35 years old of al-Raqqa city, consists of six persons (mother, father and three boys and a girl), not older than 10 years old.

Two years ago, while the citizen Khalaf was working in a factory in the city, the mercenaries arrested him and accused him of being a client,  apostate and infidel, and he came out of obeying God according to their words.

After six months in prison, he was sentenced to death to be beheaded. This caused his four children to be orphaned.

These children and their mother, Aisha Darwish, now live with their uncle Yaser Darwish in Darwish village, south of al-Hasakah city.

Khalaf said that Khalaf was working in a factory to secure the livelihood of his children and did not have any political or military affiliations, as claimed by ISIS.

"After hearing the news of the execution of my sister's husband, I took care of my sister's children and secured their demands after losing her husband."

The smile does not leave the face of his children, but behind the absence is pain

The smile does not leave the faces of the children, but behind those smiles they lost the pleasure to return to their city where their father was killed.

The children's uncle Yasir recounted what happened to them during the abduction of Khalf Obaid al-Nazal by ISIS in al-Raqqa city to ANHA correspondent "ISIS mercenaries kidnapped my sister's husband and several times demanded to reveal his condition and health in the mercenaries' prisons, they told her that his health was good, and they did not yet implement the retribution rule, then prevented her from visiting him in prison or see him or even hear his voice.

"Days, weeks and months have passed and no one has heard of him, whether he is alive or dead, we are all concerned about his fate, we were hoping to return one day, but hope did not last long, six months after the last news, we had heard that the mercenaries cut off his head from his body in a place where no one knows but IS mercenaries.

The family of the citizen Khalaf al-Nazal does not know where his resting place, even his body was hid him from his children, wife and family.
