Accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that five people were wounded in the city of Inkhil in the Daraa countryside by gunfire from the Internal Security forces, two of them in critical condition.
The Kashaf correspondent in Daraa governorate confirmed that a clash took place between the Dagher and al-Eid families in the city, which led to four minor injuries, and the wounding of a young woman described by a medical source as a moderate injury, while a video clip showed Internal Security forces arriving at the area of the clash in order to break up the dispute.
Why is this claim misleading?
False context: The claim attributed the injuries to gunfire from the Internal Security forces, while they occurred during a clash between two families in the city, and the Internal Security forces arrived at the location in order to break up the dispute, according to the Kashaf correspondent and a video clip documenting their arrival.
