Following a reverse-search conducted by Verify-Sy, it turns out this photo is of Mosab Mossa Eid al-Abdullah al-Najem who was killed in US-led coalition on Boukmal city in Deir Ezzor province on November 8 2017.

Social media pages shared news of the death of a young man called Mahmod al-Baker in Yarmouk Camp in south Damascus after he tried to stop “thugs” who were trying to loot his house in al-Oruba street before they shot him.
