80 Family Feuds in Syria Since January Kill 64 as Weapons Flood the Streets

This report covers 80 family feuds syria with key details and context.

A new report from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reveals that 80 family and tribal clashes have erupted in areas controlled by Syria’s transitional government since the start of 2026, killing 64 people and wounding 142 others, including women and children.

The violence spans multiple provinces, with Deir ez-Zor recording the highest number of incidents at 25, followed by Aleppo with 16. In Aleppo alone, 17 people have been killed and 23 wounded. One deadly clash in Aleppo’s Bani Zaid district on Sunday evening left one dead and six injured, reportedly sparked by an old feud.

The recurring bloodshed has intensified calls for stricter gun control. Fadel Abdul Ghany, director of the Syrian Network for Human Rights, estimates that around eight million weapons are circulating in Syria, with some reports suggesting 80 to 85 per cent of households possess at least one firearm.

Observers say the clashes highlight the transitional authorities’ struggle to impose law and order amid a heavily armed population.
