Security chaos | two persons found dead in rural Daraa

Daraa Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: killing and assassinations still continue in Daraa, leading to the growing of security vacuum throughout the province. Syrian Observatory sources have reported that two persons were found dead and dumped on the road between Al-Ju’aylah and Abtaa in the middle countryside of Daraa, with marks of gunshots on their bodies. The identities of the victims remain unknown.

 

Since the beginning of security chaos in Daraa in early June 2019, Syrian Observatory activists have documented more than 434 attacks and assassination attempts by gunfire and detonations of IEDs, motorcycle-bombs and car-bombs. These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 271 persons, and they are as follows:

 

  • 61 civilians, including six women and four children

 

  • 143 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services

 

  • 45 fighters of the faction who struck “reconciliation and settlements” deals with the regime and became in the ranks of regime’s security branches, including former commanders

 

  • 17 Syrian militiamen affiliated to the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian forces

 

  • Six members of the so-called 5th Corps which was established by Russia.
