“The owner of the store called “Abbas Ali” submitted a request to the economic office of the “al-Jabha al-Shamiya” militia to check the surveillance cameras in order to detect the perpetrators, but the militia claimed that the cameras had been disabled since the Eid al-Fitr period.” the reporter added.
The Al-Ashrafieh neighborhood has become a hotbed for bandit groups led and backed by armed militias that share control of the neighborhood, the largest of which is the al-Jabha al-Shamiya militia along with Ahrar al-Sharqiya, al-Mu’tasim Brigade, Jaysh al-Islam and others.
