News Center- Since Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an armed group designated as a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council, took control of Damascus on December 8, 2024, its armed groups have killed, kidnapped many civilians and demanded ransom from the kidnapped people’s families.

On February 3, 2025, Nagham Eissa, a resident of the neighborhood of Akrama in the city of Homs, was kidnapped by armed groups while visiting her doctor monitoring the course of her pregnancy. The armed groups then demanded 500,000,000 Syrian Liras from her family to release her.

On February 5, the dead bodies of two women were found shot in the head. According to local reports, one of the bodies belongs to Nagham.

The armed groups asked the family to pay the ransom within three days; however, the family could not pay the ransom due to financial difficulties. Although her family reported the kidnapping and an investigation was launched, she was not found.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Britain-based monitoring group, 102 people (100 men and two women) have been killed and 1,500 people have been kidnapped in the city of Homs since December 2024.
