Anti-Government Leaders Survive Assassination Attempt in Syria’s Daraa

On Wednesday, two unknown attackers attempted to assassinate leaders of anti-government armed groups in the 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 were 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.
