The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that a merchant who owns a car company and a real estate office was subjected to an armed attack at his home in the Qudsaya area by an unknown gang.

According to the Observatory, the assailants beat him on the head, tied up his wife and children, and stole his possessions, which included approximately 900 grams of gold, 100 million Syrian pounds, and 8,000 US dollars.

This incident comes amid growing concerns over the deteriorating security situation in the cities under the transitional government’s control, where residents witness such incidents with little to no official response.
