ISIS Beheads Women For The First Time In Syria

Monitor says ISIS killed two women and their husbands in Syria’s Deir Ezzor province after they sought health remedies.  ISIS has beheaded two women for the first time, in eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province, a monitoring group said.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Tuesday that ISIS beheaded the two women and their two husbands after accusing them of using “magic for medicine”.

It is not known what non-traditional health remedy the two couples had sought.  “It is the first time that the beheading of women, by the use of sword in public, has taken place in Syria,” the Observatory’s chief Rami Abdel Rahman told Al Jazeera.

The beheadings took place in the city of Deir Ezzor and the city of Mayadin. ISIS beheaded the first couple on Sunday and the second couple on Monday.

This is the first time the Observatory has documented the beheading of women in Syria. ISIS reportedly covered up both women and beheaded them, with many people watching, the Observatory said.
