Assassinations | Unknown gunmen shoot dead two regime soldiers in Daraa’s Kafr Shams

Daraa Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: reliable SOHR sources have confirmed that unknown gunmen on a motorcycle shot dead two members of the regime’s “9th Division” in kafr Shams town in the northern countryside of Daraa.

 

SHOR sources have just reported that a man was fund dead and dumped in the area between Al-Taybah and Al-Jizah in the eastern countryside of Daraa with marks of torture on his body.

 

The victim was an ex-fighter of opposition factions and the former chief of the “Free Police” in Al-Jizah who struck a reconciliation deal with security services after regime forces control on the area. It is worth noting that the victim was kidnapped yesterday.

 

Since the beginning of security chaos in Daraa in early June 2019, Syrian Observatory activists have documented more than 461 attacks and assassination attempts by gunfire and detonations of IEDs, motorcycle-bombs and car-bombs. These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 300 persons, and they are as follows:

 

  • 68 civilians, including seven women and four children

 

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

 

  • 47 fighters of the faction who struck “reconciliation and settlements” deals with the regime and became in the ranks of regime’s security branches, including former commanders

 

  • 17 Syrian militiamen affiliated to the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian forces

 

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