Daraa security chaos | Armed clashes between groups of Military Intelligence and General Intelligence leave casualties

Daraa province: Armed clashes erupted between a group of the regime’s Military Intelligence and members of the 5th Division on one hand and members of a checkpoint of the General Intelligence on the other hand in Al-Kashif neighbourhood near Al-Basil garden in Daraa city, after the General Intelligence arrested a commander of the 5th Division.

The clashes left two members of the Air Force Intelligence and a member of the regime’s Internal Security killed and left others injured as a primary death toll, while ambulance vehicles rushed to the location of the clashes to move the injured people, amid extensive security tension in the neighbourhood.

On the same context, a doctor from Al-Mazirib town in Daraa countryside was killed, while he was near the clashes.

On January 18, two members of local groups were killed and a child and a man were severely injured, in clashes due to the eruption of armed clashes between two local groups, one of which belongs to the regime’s military security, in Jassim city in northern Daraa countryside, due to disputes between two members that escalated to clashes, where both members brought military reinforcements to the site of clashes, amid tension in the region.
