A Syrian journalist working for pro-opposition television was killed by regime shelling in Damascus province on Sunday, his network and an NGO reported. Qays al-Qadi, who was in his 20s, worked for Al-Jisr, an Istanbul-based satellite channel that was founded in 2015 and opposes the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
A picture taken by a photographer who contributes to AFP showed a young man lying on the ground, his face bloodied and a press card around his neck. The channel said on its Facebook page that Qadi had been killed "in bombing by the Assad regime" on Eastern Ghouta, a rebel-held area east of Damascus.
