July 10, 2022 marks the tenth anniversary of a massacre perpetrated against the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) by unidentified perpetrators.
On July 10, 2012, anonymous militias kidnapped 16 PLA fighters on their way back from a military site in Misyaf, near Idlib, to AlNeirab Camp in Aleppo, north of Syria. The captives were killed one month later.
The Syrian government held the opposition outfits responsible for the massacre and mobilized forces to chase down opposition affiliates. Opposition groups, firmly denied the accusations.
However, evidence leading to the real perpetrator started to emerge early in 2015 when opposition forces broke into the government’s Criminal Security Branch in Idlib and stumbled upon pictures of a number of detainees reportedly tortured to death by regime troops.
Mutilated cadavers of PLA fighters appeared among a stock of live snapshots of torture victims. The pictures provided living proofs on the torture tactics and cells where the victims had been made to suffer until their last breath.
Activists said the genocide makes part of a collective punishment tactic aiming to wipe out Palestinians’ presence in Syria.
