2 dead bodies found in Syria’s Daraa
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, residents found two dead bodies, one with signs of torture and the other with signs of gunshot, in two different areas in the countryside of Daraa Governorate in southern Syria.
A local source told North Press that the residents found the body of Adham Jaber al-Eed handcuffed close to the town of al-Muzayrib, west of Daraa.
The body had signs of torture and was taken to the National Hospital in Tafas to be identified there, the source added.
Al-Eed descends from the town of Tal Shihab in the western countryside of Daraa.
He was accused of belonging to the Islamic State Organization (ISIS), and was arrested by the government forces in 2018.
He was released few months later, according to the same source.
In a separate incident, eyewitnesses told North Press that residents found the body of an unidentified person on the side of Damascus-Daraa highway, near the town of al-Ghariyah al-Gharbiyah in the eastern countryside of Daraa.
The body had signs of gunshot, and was taken to the National Hospital in the city of Daraa. It was not identified.
Locals found on August 25, two bodies belonging to soldiers of the Syrian government forces on the road between the towns of al-Delli and al-Sihailiah in the northern countryside of Daraa, south Syria.
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.
