Assassination attempt | Unknown gunmen open fire on former judge in “Dar Al-Adl Courthouse” in eastern Daraa

Daraa Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: as security situation is deteriorating throughout Daraa, SOHR sources say that unknown gunmen opened fire on the Imam of a mosque on the outskirts of Al-Jiza town in the eastern countryside of Daraa. The Imam was injured and taken to a hospital there. It is worth noting that the targeted person was a former judge in “Dar Al-Adl Courthouse” during the opposition factions’ control of Daraa.
