The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has monitored an assassination attempt on a collaborator with the 4th Division in eastern Daraa countryside, where unknown assailants opened fire on him in the town of Al-Musifra, injuring him.
It is worth noting that the targeted person is recruiting young men for the 4th Division. Meanwhile, an IED exploded in a car in the town of Al-Harak, east of Daraa, but no casualties have been reported.
