Syrian government member killed in Syria’s Daraa
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – A member of Syrian government forces was killed on Monday night in the town of Tibah in the eastern countryside of Daraa Governorate, southern Syria.
A local source told North Press that unknown gunmen attacked and killed Issam Muhammad al-Zoubi.
The source added that gunmen raided al-Zoubi’s house and shot him directly.
Al-Zoubi died after he was hospitalized to the National Hospital of the town of Busra in the eastern countryside of Daraa.
Al-Zoubi hails from the town of Tibah who worked with the Military Security Branch of the government forces in Daraa.
On August 25, residents found the bodies of Ahmad Kayed al-Shahma and Majid Mahmoud al-Hoshan on the road between the towns of al-Delli and al-Sihailiah in the northern countryside of Daraa.
Since the government forces re-captured Daraa in line with 2018 agreement, the governorate has been living in a state of security chaos, with one or two daily assassinations targeting soldiers and officers of the government forces, civilians and former opposition members, 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.
