ISIS militias in Yarmouk smashed the headstones of a number of tombs in the New Cemetery under the religious pretext. AGPS field correspondent denied reports that the cemetery was leveled.
ISIS also prevented civilians from visiting their relatives’ tombs as part of underway attempts to tighten grip on residents’ necks and force them out of the camp.
The targeted cemetery had come under heavy shelling by the Syrian government forces and their war abettors, severely damaging a number of tombs.
Since April 2015, ISIS has been holding sway over large tracts of Yarmouk Camp, after it rolled into the area in cooperation with AlNusra Front.
