Armed Violence in Jdeidet Artooz: Clash with Gunfire and Grenades
Last evening, the town of Jdeidet Artooz in Rif Damascus witnessed a resurgence of chaos and violence. A armed altercation broke out, involving the use of firearms and the throwing of a hand grenade, resulting in several youths being injured and damage to multiple vehicles at the scene.
Sources from the Syrian Observatory confirmed that four individuals were transferred to the hospital in conditions ranging from moderate to serious, while there are still unidentified injuries whose owners are not known. Medical teams are closely monitoring their health.
Amid the ongoing violence, a atmosphere of terror has spread among the residents of Jdeidet Artooz, with repeated scenes of violence amid a clear security vacuum and escalating weapon chaos. This coincides with the anniversary of the killing of two youths and injuries to others following a hand grenade explosion during a mass fight that occurred on October 6 on Jabal Al-Dhahr, reflecting a repeated pattern of violence in the area and underscoring the urgent need for effective security intervention to halt the escalation.
