DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, anonymous gunmen shot dead a paramedic in Syria’s southern city of Daraa.

Wasim al-Hamad, was targeted with bullets in Eastern Ghariyah, a local source told North Press.

Al-Hamad hailed from Mihaja town in Daraa countryside. Earlier, he worked as a nurse in several field hospitals in the city. Then, he settled his status when the Syrian government forces controlled Daraa and worked in a hospital as well as in a pharmacy in Basra al-Sham city in the east countryside of Daraa.

In the same context, local people of al-Muzayrib town, in the western countryside of Daraa, found, on Monday, body of a man identified as Bashar Ji’arah who was a former member of the Islamic State (ISIS) organization.

Hours earlier, unknown gunmen killed the young man Ahmed Abduraouf Rashdan on the road connecting Tafas city to al-Muzayrib.

Assassinations, mostly by anonymous persons, prevail in Daraa. The majority of the targeted people are former members of the Syrian opposition factions who had settled their status under the settlement process.

The Martyr Documentation Office, a local non-governmental organization that follows up the statistics of casualties and detainees in Daraa, documented 1,084 killing attempts in which 685 people, whether civilians, former fighters of the Syrian armed opposition factions who had settled their status or fighters of the Syrian government forces between the summer of 2018 and last September, were killed.

Since the second settlement process in October 2021, the Martyr Documentation Office has documented 55 killing attempts that claimed the lives of 38 persons.
