US-Backed Militants Kidnap Civilians in Syria’s Deir Ez-Zur


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – US occupation forces-backed QSD militants kidnapped a number of civilians in Gharanij town in Syria’s Deir Ez-Zur eastern countryside.

Local sources told SANA that armed groups of QSD militants have carried out a raid and search campaign for a number of citizens’ houses in al-Ma’adan neighborhood in the town, and they kidnapped a number of civilians and took them to an unknown destination.

QSD militants have escalated their raid operations in the areas they have occupied in the Syrian al-Jazeera region.

They have kidnapped dozens of the locals and hundreds of young men in the countryside of Deir Ez-Zur, Raqqa and Hasaka, taking them to their camps to recruit them forcibly among their ranks.
