Abu Khashab shooting
Islamic State gunmen on motorcycles stormed a house hosted by former Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Nouri Hamish, during iftar being held to mark the end of a Ramadan fast. Many of his friends were attending the gathering. Seven people were killed, including Nouri Hamish, while four more were injured. The attack ended after the perpetrators were confronted by locals, causing the gunmen to flee. The Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was part of an operation called "Vengeance for two Sheikhs" that was launched in retaliation for the assassinations of Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi and Abu Hamza al-Qurashi.
