Suicide | Member of military security service kills himself in Daraa, after having large doses of drugs

Reliable sources have informed SOHR that a regime affiliate committed suicide in Naseeb town in Daraa countryside, near the Syria-Jordan border. The man who was a former opposition fighter and volunteered later in the regime’s military security after reconciliation with the security services, shot himself after being high on drugs.

 

Since the beginning of security chaos in Daraa in early June 2019, Syrian Observatory activists have documented more than 650 attacks and assassination attempts by gunfire and detonations of IEDs, motorcycle-bombs and car-bombs. These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 425 persons, and they are as follows:

 

• 118 civilians, including 12 women and 14 children

 

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

 

• 75 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

 

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

 

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