Honored Martyr's Story
From July 25-27 of 2018, ISIS began a massive campaign against As-Suweyda because of its large Christian Druze population using suicide bombing and targeted ammunition strikes. Over 300 people in this small area were killed, many escaped. Approximately 36 Druze women and some men were kidnapped to barter for Daesh fighters in captivity. Some of the women managed to escape. At least 17 women were executed, and the remaining women released, when the fighters were returned. Tamimeh and her mother, who was unnamed, were among those killed. The exact date of their execution is unknown.
