Daraa governorate – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has monitored today an assassination attempt on a civilian activist opponent of regime forces and Iranian militias. He was targeted by unidentified gunmen in front of his house in the village of Um Walad in Daraa countryside.

It is worth nothing that this is the third attempt to assassinate him since the beginning of 2020. He was shot in his home on February 26, and was also subjected to an assassination attempt in January this year.

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 512 attacks.

While the number of those who killed and died in the same period has risen to 331 persons, 82 of whom are civilians, including seven women and seven children, in addition to 169 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.

54 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”.
