The theft took place under gunfire and threats, as the assailants fired live bullets into the air to intimidate residents.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the incident occurred in full view of the villagers, but no one dared to intervene or report it to the authorities due to fear of the armed men.

Local sources told the Observatory that this incident is part of a growing series of thefts carried out by armed groups without any deterrence or accountability from the relevant bodies of the interim government. These repeated thefts have worsened residents’ suffering as electricity remains unavailable and damaged networks go unrepaired.
