Daraa Governorate – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

SOHR activists say that a civilian from Dael area in central Daraa countryside was arrested by the regime security services, while he was going to the city of Daraa, without knowing the reasons for the arrest to date.

On the other hand, the body of a man was found with gunshot wounds near Tafas in western countryside of Daraa, but no information has been reported on the identity of the perpetrators and the circumstances of the killing so far.

Since the beginning of the security chaos in Daraa in early June 2019, Syrian Observatory activists have documented more than 958 attacks and assassination attempts by gunfire and detonations of IEDs, motorcycle-bombs and car-bombs. These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 622 persons, categorised as follows:

  • 176 civilians, including 12 women and 17 children

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

  • 117 fighters of factions that 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

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