A faction called "Sultan Murad" entered the village, which had been nearly emptied of its residents after they fled in fear of being killed. The faction entered the home of 50-year-old citizen Adel Al-Aulouni, who agreed to host them and provide them with food and drink for three days. After days of staying there, they asked Al-Aulouni to tell the villagers that they could return safely. Indeed, the residents returned to their village, and among the returnees were the sons of Adel Al-Aulouni: Muhammad and Jaafar. The faction asked the father to accompany his sons for interrogation. The father was surprised but decided to go with them. After half an hour, the father returned alone, and when he asked about his sons, the faction told him they had been handed over to General Security. Days later, the family was shocked by the return of the sons' bodies, which had been subjected to the worst forms of torture before they were killed.
