A man from the village of Tal Asfar in northern Sweida countryside was killed and another injured on Tuesday when gunmen attacked them on the road connecting the towns of Musayfira and Kahil in eastern Daraa countryside.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the victims were traveling with others, transporting two cars loaded with fruit from Sweida to Daraa, when they were intercepted in an area under the control of Damascus government forces and affiliated armed groups.

This road is considered one of the most dangerous passages, having recently witnessed repeated incidents of kidnapping and robbery, mostly targeting people from Sweida traveling from Damascus to their city. One of the most notable incidents involved the abduction of a bus carrying passengers, including women and children.
