Unidentified gunmen in a four-wheel vehicle targeted a military point of the PMF on the outskirts of the town of al-Hari, adjacent to the Syrian-Iraqi border, with machine guns and RPGs, a military source in the government forces said.
One member was killed and two others were wounded in the attack. Attackers also confiscated the weapons inside the headquarters and set it on fire before fleeing, the source added.
