On Wednesday, the city of Palmyra in central Syria witnessed three assassinations carried out by unknown assailants, and they resulted in the killing of three people.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that unidentified gunmen shot at a man and killed him in the city before fleeing to an anonymous location.

In a second incident, another person was killed after being targeted by gunfire from unknown assailants, while a third attack, carried out by gunmen in a white taxi, resulted in the death of another civilian in the city center, in a series of separate incidents brought the total number of deaths to three.

This comes amid a surge in assassinations and killings in areas controlled by the Syrian Transitional Government, a consequence of the security chaos and the widespread availability of weapons.
