Daraa: Tafas’ clan clashes leave five persons dead, including a woman
2020-04-27
[SYRIAHR] Four men and one woman were killed and others were maimed today, as a result of clan festivities in the city of Tafas, due to an old feuds.

The Syrian Observatory has monitored today festivities with machine guns in the town of Tafas in rural Daraa, between al-Zuabi and Kiwan clans.

The two clans are the largest clans in southern Syria. Confirmed casualties have been reported on both sides.

This brings the number of attacks and liquidation attempts in various forms and methods by detonating IEDs, mines, booby-trapped vehicles and shootings from past June to date, to more than 424 attacks.

While the number of those who killed and died in the same period has risen to 263 persons, 57 of whom are civilians, including six women and four children, in addition to 138 members of regime forces, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.

45 members of opposition factions were also killed, those who made "settlements and reconciliations" with the regime and became members of regime security services, including former leaders, and 17 members of Syrian militias affiliated to Lebanese "Hezbollah" and Iranian forces, in addition to six members of so-called "Fifth Corps" established by Russia.
I don’t recall hearing about this Fifth Corps before — does anyone know anything about them?
