New Assassination in Daraa | Despite striking settlements and handing weapons, civilian killed in west Daraa

Daraa province: Despite of the wide process of striking settlement and withdrawing weapons that have took place in Daraa province, under mediation of Russia, the security chaos hasn’t ended yet.

SOHR activists have documented new assassination attempt that killed a young man in Tafs city in west Daraa province, after he was targeted by unknown gunmen, but reasons behind the murder remained unknown.

It is worth noting that the victim was working with the opposition factions before the regime forces controlled Daraa province in 2018.

Yesterday, a civilian was killed in west Daraa countryside after he shot by unknown gunmen during his work in barber shop in central al-Mazyreeb town.

SOHR activists have reported that the Syrian regime security committee and the dignitaries of most of Daraa reached new settlement deals and have handed the heavy and light weapons.

Since the beginning of the security chaos in Daraa in early June 2019, Syrian Observatory activists have documented more than 1,189 attacks and assassination attempts by gunfire and detonations of IEDs, motorcycle-bombs and car-bombs. These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 852 persons, categorised as follows:
• 254 civilians, including 14 women and 24 children
• 389 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.
• 150 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.
• 27 Syrian militiamen affiliated to the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian forces.
• 33 members of the so-called 5th Corps which was established by Russia.
