On January 18, 2026—the day interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced a ceasefire—gunmen at a checkpoint near Abu Khashab village executed six adults from a fleeing 12-member Kurdish family from Raqqa, including 50-year-old Mohammed Ismail Salih and his wife Sara. Survivors like Shirin Mohammed Salih, shot in the back, sent heartbreaking voice messages pleading for help as her children were held.
