SHOOT TO KILL: Syrian sniper “Guevara” is out to avenge the deaths of her children by going after soldiers loyal to dictator Bashar al-Assad. (Alessio Romenzi)
She’s a real femme fatale.
A former English teacher became a deadly sniper in the rebel army fighting evil Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad as a desperate way to avenge the deaths of her two children in the bloody civil war.
The 36-year-old mom, who now goes by the nom de guerre “Guevara,” stalks Syria’s urban battlegrounds with a traditional scarf on her head and a Belgian FN sniper rifle in her hand.
She has so far put bullets in at least four of Assad’s thugs, according to a new report.
“It makes you feel good. Whenever I hit one, I shout, ‘Yes!’ ” Guevara told The Telegraph of London.
The memories of her 7-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, who were killed in an airstrike, are never far from her mind.
“I said, ‘My boy, I promise that I am going to defend your future,’ ” Guevara said. “Now, I will not forget my children’s blood and I promise to take revenge.”
With cold calculation, Guevara reportedly waits for government soldiers to pass into her sight line while hiding out in the ravaged buildings of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city.
“I think I have killed soldiers,” she told the paper. “You can never be 100 percent sure that they are dead, but I have hit them at least four or five times.”
Wearing a traditional hajib along with a camouflage jacket, Guevara is a rare female soldier in a conservative Muslim society.
The rage-filled mom takes pleasure in extracting her vengeance by taking aim at the hated dictator’s henchmen.
She has a history of activism. While attending Aleppo University, she helped create an underground newspaper, the Telegraph said.
Originally from the Palestinian territories, Guevara reportedly learned how to use a weapon at a training facility in Lebanon run by the militant organization Hamas.
She also helped organize a political party for Palestinians who sought the overthrow of Assad’s regime and took part in the Syrian protest during the Arab Spring movement that swept across the region.
The warrior left her first husband because of his tepid support for the revolution.
Her new husband, the commander of her rebel brigade, taught her how to be a sniper.
“I like fighting,” she said. “I have the strength to hold a gun, so why can’t I fight?”
