Targeting Military Security in Daraa

According to the Ahrar Horan Gathering, casualties occurred when a Hilux belonging to the Military Security was struck by an explosive device on the road connecting the city of Nawa to the village of Dali in the western countryside of Daraa.

Subsequently, a second Military Security vehicle, dispatched to assist the wounded, fell victim to another explosiv device attack near the initial blast site, resulting in additional fatalities.

In a separate incident days prior, Major Amer Badour, stationed at the regime’s Saraya checkpoint on the road between Jassem city and al-Faqi’, was fatally shot near the village of Faqi’, north of Daraa. Badour, a native of Masyaf, lost his life in the line of duty.

Simultaneously with Badour’s assassination, unidentified assailants targeted a Military Security Branch vehicle near the automated oven (bakery) in Nawa’s center, though no injuries were reported.

Sources indicate the presence of three Military Security-affiliated groups in Nawa, each under the leadership of Samer Abu al-Sel “Abu Hajar,” Walid Abdul Karim al-Natour “Abu Swar,” and Firas al-Zein, all enjoying unwavering support from the Military Security apparatus.
