 The three members of the "Political Security" branch were killed when unknown gunmen opened fire on their military vehicle on the road between the towns of Saida and Naimeh in eastern Daraa.

This attack occurred 24 hours after an assassination attempt on the governor of Daraa. Yesterday, unknown assailants targeted his convoy with an explosive device as he returned from a tour in the town of Al-Hirak, injuring two of his security escorts.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, since the beginning of the year, there have been 248 documented security incidents in Daraa, all involving various methods, resulting in the deaths of 267 people, most of them members of the Damascus government forces.
