New attack in Daraa | Unidentified gunmen attack regime checkpoint in north-western countryside

Daraa governorate – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

SOHR sources have monitored during the past hours an armed attack by unknown gunmen on Al-Rubai’e checkpoint of the regime forces in the town of Tafas in north-western Daraa countryside. An exchange of fire took place between the two sides with light weapons. No casualties have been reported.

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 634 attacks.

While the number of those who killed and died in the same period has risen to 421 persons, 116 of whom are civilians, including 12 women and 15 children, in addition to 189 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.

74 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 23 members of Syrian militias affiliated to Lebanese “Hezbollah” and Iranian forces, in addition to 19 members of so-called “Fifth Corps”.
