The commander of the special forces of the Assad army was killed in "Jisr al-Shughour" and not in "Yarmouk"

social media personal accounts and news pages shared news saying that the highest ranking military officer in Syria was killed during the battles south of Damascus.

News publishers attached a picture of the officer Mohiuddin Mansour, who said he was a brigadier general and the commander of the special forces, adding that he was killed on the outskirts of Yarmouk camp south Damascus.

Verify-Sy investigated this claim and it turns out that General Mohiuddin Mansour was killed about 3 years ago after being seriously injured in the battle of Jisr al-Shoghour in rural Idlib during clashes between Assad regime and the Syrian armed opposition factions.

Verify-Sy also attached a video of the "memorial service" held for Mansour in his hometown Chamamis village of Safita Tartous countryside.
