Seven people, including 12-year-old Syrian girl Nur Katan, were killed in a clash between Iranian foreign Shiite militias and Hezbollah in the Saida Zinab area in the southern capital, Damascus.

A source in the field told the Lebanese news site Al-Modun that a conflict broke out between a member of a Pakistani militia and another Afghan militia, which developed into an armed clash between the two sides, in which 7 people were killed, including the girl Nur, and 3 others were injured. The cause of the conflict is not yet known.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said clashes broke out between foreign Shiite militias loyal to Iran in the Koh Sudan neighborhood in the area of ??the Shiite Shrine temple - Saida Zinab, killing 10 people, including 7 civilians, and two of them from these militias. . The observatory noted that the city of Damascus has witnessed security chaos due to the control of foreign non-Syrian militias, loyal to Iran.

At the same time, the Syrian news site - "South al-'Asima" (Voice of the Capital) reported that the death toll in reality is higher than what was said in the regime's media. He noted that the same militias prevented the Damascus police chief and military security officers from entering the area and interfering with the confrontation, which lasted more than half an hour, adding that these militias received implicit threats to leave the scene and keep the incident secret.

On the other hand, the "Sham FM" network confirmed the security incident and said that a confrontation broke out in the city after a substantial conflict developed into an armed clash that left dead and wounded, including a Syrian girl, without giving further details.
