Hawar News obtained a video recording that documents the incident, which occurred in broad daylight at the Al-Awarid checkpoint, near the Agricultural Park on the southern outskirts of Sheikh Maqsoud. 

The footage shows the two young men being forced into a white military vehicle and driven away to an unknown destination.

These actions constitute a clear violation of the recent understandings aimed at protecting civilians, particularly Article 3 of the April 1 Agreement, which explicitly guarantees the safety of residents.

It is noteworthy that just two days ago, forces of the Interim Government reportedly abducted Abdo Marwan Sheikho at the Syrian checkpoint near Al-Kalima School, demanding a $10,000 ransom from his family in exchange for his release.
