According to local sources in Ghwiran neighborhood, groups affiliated to the SDF militia [It is Arabic acronym is QASAD] raided this morning the western neighborhood of Ghwiran under the pretext of searching for escaped prisons and broke into homes and kidnapped a number of men and young men and took them to an unknown destination.

The sources added that the raid campaigns that were carried out by the US-backed militia expanded towards the villages located on the eastern and southeastern sides of the prison, in addition to a number of villages in the western countryside and kidnapped a number of other citizens.

“The raid campaign was accompanied by tighter searching procedures at the checkpoints of the militia that tried to close the neighborhood and impose a total curfew in the area,” the sources asserted.
