https://louisproyect.org/2016/07/22/...the-beheading/A Syrian who was beheaded by a rebel group in Aleppo this week was a 19-year-old pro-regime fighter suffering from a growth defect and not a child, activists have claimed.
He was named as Abdullah al-Issa and that his family members said he was a 19-year-old who volunteered to fight with the regime’s National Defence Forces militias.
Other social media users said he was from the Alawite village of Wadi al-Dahab in Homs, and photos emerged allegedly showing his funeral in the area.
Issa was said to be suffering from thalassemia, which led to a growth defect that made him appear to be a child. Photos shared of Issa online show him in military fatigues and carrying a rifle.
“This boy, whose [beheading] has caught the world’s attention is my cousin Abdullah Issa from Wadi al-Dahab district of Homs, and he suffers from thalassemia,” his alleged cousin – Loly Alamora [“Loly the cutie”] – wrote on her Facebook page.
“That is why he appears younger than his age, but he is 19-years-old.”
Still fairly young, but still what do you expect, it's a norm over there.

I don't feel anything for that child nice propoganda stuff lefties liberal media
It's war, are people honestly shocked by this? The injuries he has are little more than a boo boo compared to most.
Nothing more than a cheap liberal media stunt, like that dead brat on the beach.
What's with this Syrian conflict anyways? Seems like things were relatively peaceful by middle eastern standards and then suddenly that Al Nusra group had enough weapons to turn their ambitions into a full blown civil war.
I don't know. This geopolitick is too complicated for me. Let's just make Russia look bad because Russia is super villain state.
Good news! The picture of 5 year old Omran Daqneesh apparently has pressured the Russians into a "cease fire". Rumor is Russians will give the Syrian Sunnis 48 hours to leave Allepo.

Russians have agreed to several cease fires. Apparently you are not reading news. Last cease fire lasted over a week and resulted to 7000 fresh terrorists entering Allepo and a shiton of American weapons entering the city as well. Edit: Also, they have agreed and created the "humanitarian corridors, from which civilians could leave city and aid could enter.
Whoever thinks this is a civil war needs a reality check. This is a proxy war, this is Syrians fighting for their country.
And something last that no one seems to be talking about.
The Chinese agreed on helping the Syrian government by training their troops and offering humanitarian help.
