David Jendo (Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ ܓܢܕܐ) was an Assyrian military commander of the Khabour Guards (Syriac: ܡܘܬܒܐ ܕܢܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܚܒܘܪ, romanized: Mawtḇā d-Nāṭorē d-Ḥābor) operating mainly along the Khabur river in Al-Hasakah.[1][2][3] David Jendo was also a deacon (Syriac: ܫܲܡܵܫܵܐ, romanized: sham ' ma: ša:) of the Assyrian Church of the East.[4]
Assassination
David Jendo was assassinated by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in April 2015 along with a fellow commander, Elias Nasser.[1][2][3] Both men were blindfolded and driven to a remote location, supposedly to have an urgent meeting with YPG leadership. Jendo and Nasser were then shot and David Jendo immediately died, while Elias Nasser was severely wounded. Jendo had publicly spoken against the YPG looting Assyrian homes in 2015. The attackers were allegedly arrested and tried in a regional court, resulting in 20 years prison for the two killers, 4 and 1 years respectively for the other two attackers.[5][6] Elias Nasser was interviewed by Swedish-Assyrian news channel Assyria TV in August 2015 about the events that took place in April.[7]
