SOHR sources say that the head of al-Msifra town in eastern Daraa countryside was injured and taken to hospital, as a result of an assassination attempt in the town, as he was shot by unknown assailants.

Yesterday, SOHR activists said that unidentified gunmen targeted a checkpoint of the Air-Force Intelligence branch in the town of Tsiel, west of Daraa, slightly injuring a member of the checkpoint, before the gunmen fled.
