Anti-government leaders survive assassination attempt in Syria’s Daraa
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Wednesday, two unknown attackers attempted to assassinate leaders of anti-government armed groups in al-Musayfrah town in the eastern countryside of Syria’s Daraa.
A local source from the town told North Press that gunmen shot at anti-government leaders as they were traveling in a car inside the town, killing them immediately.
The source added that the two leaders, who are the cousins of Bakr al-Zoubi and Abdulhadi al-Zoubi were in the ranks of anti-government factions before they made a settlement in 2018 with the government under Russian sponsorship.
In another incident, a government military source from the city of Daraa told North Press that an armed group fired at a member of the government forces who was serving in the Iran-backed Fourth Division in the eastern Daraa countryside, killing him immediately.
Daraa is witnessing mutual assassinations between anti-government local groups and pro-government groups, against individuals who made settlements in 2018.
