ISIS 'beheads women for the first time in Syria'
NEWS DESK (DİHA) - Monitor says ISIS massacred two women and their husbands in Syria's Deir Ezzor province after they sought health remedies.
The ISIS has beheaded two women for the first time, in eastern Syria's Deir Ezzor province, a monitoring group said. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Tuesday that ISIS beheaded the two women and their two husbands after accusing them of using "magic for medicine".
It is not known what non-traditional health remedy the two couples had sought. "It is the first time that the beheading of women, by the use of sword in public, has taken place in Syria," the Observatory's chief, Rami Abdel Rahman, told.
The beheadings took place in the city of Deir Ezzor and the city of Mayadin. ISIS beheaded the first couple on Sunday and the second couple on Monday. ISIS reportedly covered up both women and beheaded them, with many people watching, the Observatory said.
