Daraa’s deteriorating security | Unknown gunmen attack “General Intelligence Directorate” and police station in Jasem

Reliable SOHR sources have confirmed that unknown assailants have attacked the regime’s “General Intelligence Directorate” and police station in Jasem city in the northern countryside of Daraa. The attack was followed by skirmishes that lasted for hours, but no details have been reported about the amount of losses.

These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 331 persons, and they are as follows:

 

• 82 civilians, including seven women and seven children

 

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

 

• 54 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.
