Unidentified gunmen kill regime opponent and member of the reconciliation committee between Al-Sweida and Daraa in southern Syria

SOHR sources say that locals in the village of Al-Tha’ala in rural Al-Sweida found this morning the body of a member of the reconciliation committee between Al-Sweida and Daraa in southern Syria. He was found dead with blows on the head by a sharp object, while on his farm.
SOHR sources added that the killers stole his car from the farm, to disguise the murder and make it look like a robbery-homicide.

Dignitaries from Horan (Darra) and Jabal al-Arab (Al-Sweida) had formed a reconciliation committee in order to defuse tensions between the two cities, without the presence of figures close to Syrian regime.
The victim is a Syrian from Al-Sweida province and opponent of the regime and he was an active member of the Democratic National Congress.
On April 18, SOHR activists documented the death of two women and injury of two others after being shot by unknown assailants, while being in Al-Khazzanat neighbourhood in Al-Suwaidaa city in southern Syria.
Reasons and motives behind the attack remained unknown.
