His father died in the 6th of October war with Israel in 1973. Therefore, he studied in the martyrs’s kids schools, but had to leave college for a period of time because of some financial difficulties, but he  returned to study film directing and graduated thereafter.

Assad’s regime tried keeping the Druze community away from the Syrian revolution through persuasion and intimidation like arresting activists of this sect like Alaa Harb and Lawrence Ra’ad.

The real death toll in the Syrian war could be more than 200,000 people, a pro-opposition watchdog group said Saturday, as it provided a latest count that matched that of the UN. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had documented the deaths of more than 106,000 people, but warned that the real toll could be twice as high. The United Nations said in July that more than 100,000 have been killed in Syria since March 2011
