SOHR activists say that unidentified gunmen assassinated today a civilian in the town of Tal Shihab in western countryside of Daraa. SOHR sources confirmed that he is a civilian. No further details have been reported.

This brings the number of attacks and assassination attempts in various forms and methods by detonating IEDs, mines, booby-trapped vehicles and shootings from past June to date, to more than 463 attacks.

While the number of those who killed and died in the same period has risen to 302 persons, 69 of whom are civilians, including seven women and four children, in addition to 162 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.

47 members of opposition factions were also killed, those who made “settlements and reconciliations” with the regime and became members of regime security services, including former leaders, and 17 members of Syrian militias affiliated to Lebanese “Hezbollah” and Iranian forces, in addition to six members of so-called “Fifth Corps” established by Russia.
