The body, identified as 26-year-old Muhammad Hassan Al-Dib, was discovered in a canal in the village of Kamshish, affiliated with the Tala center. The case began with a missing person's report filed by Al-Dib's family at the Shehadah police station.

The missing person's report revealed that Al-Dib's mobile phone was switched off, and his family had no information about his whereabouts.
