The Public Relations Office handed over all the bodies exhumed from the two graves to the Syrian government forces, with the aim of conducting checks to identify them and later deliver them to their families.

The two mass graves were discovered on August 31, after the people of the area informed the security forces in the sub-district of the existence of two cemeteries, the first cemetery was in the village of Al-Farhaniya, and the second in the village of Khafiyah Al-Wahab, which are close to each other, as they are only 2 km far from each other.
