Kashif verified the video via \u201cGoogle Images\u201d tool and found that the claim is misleading. The video shows the execution of Ammar al-Asaad in the town of Khirbet Ghazaleh in the countryside of Daraa, not Ammar al-Assad.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 12\/7\/2024, Safwan Abdullah\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Facebook account posted\u00a0the video clip with the following text: \u201cThe execution by hanging of Ammar al-Ass’ad and Diana, the wife of the murdered Muhammad Ziad al-Hajj Ali, Abu Ayser, was carried out in the public square in the town of Khirbet Ghazala in the eastern countryside of Daraa, for their conviction of carrying out the murder of the young man Hajj Ali, after they were arrested after taking control of the prison in the city of Izraa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

On 7 and 10 December 2024, a group<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0accounts<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook\u00a0published clipped images from the video of the same event, in addition to\u00a0video clips<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0different angles<\/a>\u00a0of the execution. The accounts stated that they were the execution of Ammar Al-Asaad in Daraa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

On 7\/12\/2024, the Khirbet Ghazala Lens<\/a>\u00a0account on Facebook\u00a0\u00a0published a live broadcast of 31.39 minutes, documenting the execution incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daraa 24<\/a>\u00a0website\u00a0published a report on 13\/11\/2024, in which it explained that the Daraa Criminal Court had ordered death by execution of \u201cthe perpetrators of the Khirbet Ghazala crime that resulted in the killing of the young man Muhammad Ziad al-Hajj Ali on 8\/11\/2024,\u201d wife of Hajj Ali and Ammar al-Asaad, according to investigations by the Criminal Security Branch in Daraa, as the report stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ammar Badi al-Assad<\/a>\u00a0is the cousin of the ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and he had won the recent Syrian People’s Assembly elections for Latakia Governorate from the Baath Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been no official news about the execution of Ammar Badi’ al-Assad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through searching the official accounts of the media operations room of the Syrian opposition factions, Kashif’s team did not find any mention of the announcement of the execution of Ammar al-Assad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposition factions<\/a>\u00a0announced on Wednesday 27\/11\/2024 the start of a military operation called \u201cDeterrence of Aggression.\u201d On Sunday 8\/12\/2024, the opposition announced in a statement broadcast on state television the liberation of Damascus and the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s 24-year rule. The opposition added that all detainees had been released.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
