SOHR activists say that regime forces were put on high alert in the city of Al-Hara, north of Daraa province, after a shooting attack on their checkpoints around the town yesterday. A regime soldier was killed and another was injured, as unknown gunmen opened fire on a military vehicle in the area of “Al-Jadira”, east of the city of Al-Harra.
