Security vacuum in Daraa | Civilian assa*ssinated in northern countryside

Daraa province: SOHR sources have reported that unknown gunmen shot dead a civilian in his fifties in Jasim city in the northern countryside of Daraa. It is worth noting that the victim’s son had been assassinated by unknown gunmen in 2021.

 

This comes as a part of ongoing security chaos in Daraa province.

 

Since early 2023, the number of attacks documented by SOHR in Daraa province has risen to 25, which left 16 people dead; and they are as follows:

 

  • Five civilians, including two women.

 

  • Seven regime military personnel and members with settled-status working for regime services and backed militias.

 

  • Four former fighters who did not join any military formation, after striking reconciliation deals.

 

  • Four ISIS members.
