School principal martyred in ISIS attack in eastern Deir ez-Zor

This morning, an ISIS terrorist cell targeted the principal of a school in Al-Sha’fah, in the Hajin area, eastern Deir ez-Zor, the Press Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reported.

The terrorists, riding a motorcycle, opened fire on the principal, Saleh, near his home, resulting in his martyrdom, before fleeing the area.

“This attack is part of ISIS’s ongoing attempts to escalate terrorism by targeting military personnel, security forces, civilian leaders, and public institutions—particularly amid the growing instability and lawlessness in Syria,” SDF stated.
