In the town of Yadoudah, also situated in the northern region of Daraa, local residents uncovered the remains of Mohammed Faisal Oqab, a young man hailing from Daraa camp, two days after he had been abducted by unidentified assailants. These captors had demanded a substantial ransom of $50,000 from his family.
Activists have shared a video featuring Oqab in which he purportedly confesses to being associated with the Lebanese militia Hezbollah. However, the video reveals that he was reading from a script placed in front of him, suggesting that his confession may have been coerced, as per the Gathering.
Assassination attempts
In the city of al-Hirak, located in the eastern countryside of Daraa, an unfortunate incident unfolded on Tuesday as Mohammed Diab al-Zamil sustained injuries at the hands of unidentified assailants. He was subsequently transported to the Daraa al-Mahatta area for medical attention.
Meanwhile, in the village of al-Ajmi, situated to the southwest of Daraa, Mahmoud Muwaffaq al-Rifai found himself wounded due to gunfire from unknown sources. It is worth noting that Rifai hails from the town of Tal Shihab, which falls within the same geographical region and is suspected of involvement in multiple theft cases in the western countryside of Daraa.
During the midnight hours spanning Monday and Tuesday, Majd Muhammad al-Tayasneh, a former member of the Free Syrian Army, was targeted by unidentified assailants in the city of Nawa, resulting in injuries.
