Unidentified gunmen attack regime soldier in rural Daraa

Daraa Governorate – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

SOHR activists say that a soldier of the regime forces was seriously injured today by unidentified gunmen, while travelling on a motorcycle on the road between the towns of Kahil and Al-Gariya al-Sharqiya in Daraa countryside. The gunmen stole his motorcycle and belongings before fleeing.

This brings the number of attacks and assassination attempts in various forms and methods by detonating IEDs, mines, booby-trapped vehicles and shootings from past June to date, to more than 426 attacks.

While the number of those who killed and died in the same period has risen to 265 persons, 59 of whom are civilians, including six women and four children, in addition to 138 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.

45 members of opposition factions were also killed, those who made “settlements and reconciliations” with the regime and became members of regime security services, including former leaders, and 17 members of Syrian militias affiliated to Lebanese “Hezbollah” and Iranian forces, in addition to six members of so-called “Fifth Corps” established by Russia.
