One individual killed in Syria’s Daraa
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Friday, an individual was killed by unknown gunmen in the western countryside of Daraa, south Syria.
The young man, Muhammad al-Awadi, a civilian working in the poultry trade, was killed after being targeted by unknown individuals riding a motorcycle, near the town of Tel Shehab in the western countryside of Daraa, an eyewitness told North Press.
Al-Awadi had never joined any military formation, the eyewitness added.
Al-Awadi was subjected to assassination attempts, the most recent of which was in December 2021, the eyewitness noted.
Daraa governorate continues to witness ongoing killing operations without knowing the party behind them, as no party has claimed responsibility for these attacks.
Since the government forces re-captured Daraa in 2018, the governorate has been living in a state of insecurity, with one or two daily assassinations targeting soldiers and officers of the government forces, not to mention the spread of thefts.
In 2021, Daraa Governorate went through an 80-day-seige. After that, a number of Daraa’s notables and government forces, with mediation of Russian officers, reached a ceasefire agreement on September 5, 2021, including handing over weapons and deploying governmental security posts in the towns of the governorate.
