On 28 April 2022, seven people were killed after Islamic State gunmen stormed a house in Abu Khashab, Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Syria.
Attack[edit]
Islamic State gunmen on motorcycles stormed a house hosted by former Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Nouri Hamish, during iftar being held to mark the end of a Ramadan fast.[1] Many of his friends were attending the gathering.[2]
Seven people were killed, including Nouri Hamish, while four more were injured.[3] The attack ended after the perpetrators were confronted by locals, causing the gunmen to flee.[1]
The Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack,[1] saying it was part of an operation called "Vengeance for two Sheikhs" that was launched in retaliation for the assassinations of Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi and Abu Hamza al-Qurashi.[4][5]
