ANHA correspondent in Homs reported today the death of Umm Rami al-Zaroufi, who succumbed to wounds sustained in the armed attack on her family earlier this month in the al-Sabil neighborhood of Homs. She joins her husband and son, who were killed in the same attack.

The woman was admitted to intensive care after her family was targeted in a shooting on May 4th. Unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle attacked a shop owned by her husband, Azdshir al-Khadir, known as "al-Zaroufi," in the evening, killing him and their son, Ali, instantly, and seriously wounding her.

Homs has been experiencing sporadic shootings, prompting calls from the public for increased security measures and greater stability.
