The operation was apparently prompted after three government supporters were kidnapped a week prior and killed, with their dismembered bodies being returned to their relatives on 17 July.
ويبدو أن العملية قد بدأت بعد اختطاف ثلاثة من مؤيدي الحكومة وقتلوا قبل أسبوع، مع عودة جثثهم الممزقة إلى أقاربهم في 17 يوليو.
