Daesh killed the 19-year-old male student on Thursday after kidnapping more than 30 people, mostly women and children, from a village in Sweida during a deadly rampage last week, the head of the Sweida24 news website Nour Radwan told AFP.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the young man's execution was the first since the kidnappings.
Daesh fighters once held a southwestern patch of the neighbouring province of Daraa, but regime forces have in recent weeks ousted them from all of the towns and villages there.
Four women had since escaped while two had died, leaving 14 women and 16 children in militant captivity, according to the Observatory.
At the time, another 17 men were unaccounted for but it was unclear if they were also kidnapped.
Local sources say the families of the abductees have been sent photos and videos of their loved ones via Whatsapp.
Sweida had until last week largely remained isolated from Syria's seven-year conflict.
Druze, which made up three percent of Syria's population before 2011, are considered Muslim but militant sees them as heretics.
