Mass grave unearthed at Iran-backed Hezbollah site in Syria

On Monday, residents and medical teams began on their own digging up a mass grave in the village of Izraa in southern Daraa province. The remains of over 30 corpses were uncovered, and the teams estimated the total number could reach 70.

This was reported by the "Associated Press".

The discovery was made at a site previously used by Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iran-backed Iraqi militias, both allies of the deposed president.

Moussa Al-Zouebi, the head of the village’s health directorate, said some of the people whose remains were uncovered were executed by “shooting in the head, in the eye, or by burning.” A local forensic team and rebel fighters handled bags of human remains as an excavator rumbled in the background, while relatives stood by.

Relatives said they initially had hopes that they would find their loved ones in a prison. “But we didn’t find anyone and it broke our hearts. They were burned alive here after being doused in fuel,” Mohammad Ghazaleh said at the mass grave site.

The new authorities in Damascus have designated a hotline for people and ex-prisoners to identify locations and secret prisons used by Assad’s government to find any trace of missing persons. The insurgents have freed thousands of prisoners in Damascus and other cities, including Aleppo, Homs and Hama.
