2 persons killed amid continued chaos in Syria’s Daraa
DARRA, Syria (North Press) – Unidentified gunmen killed on Saturday two people in separate incidents in Daraa Governorate, southern Syria.
A local source told North Press that unidentified gunmen, riding a motorcycle, shot Ali Abdul’aziz al-Aweir dead in the town of Dael in the countryside of Daraa.
Al-Aweir was hospitalized to the National Hospital in the town of Tafas in the western countryside of Daraa, where he died, the source added.
Al-Aweir was a former member of a Syrian opposition faction before Syrian government forces entered Daraa in 2018.
In a separate incident, unknown gunmen killed Muhammad al-Masa’id, known as “Abu Qassem al-Badawi”, in a neighborhood of the city of Daraa, a local source told North Press.
Al-Masa’id succumbed to his injuries in the National Hospital in Daraa, the source added.
Al-Masa’id was one of the people accused of working in drug trade and promoting it among youth, according to the source.
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.
