Daraa, Syria (North Press) – On Monday late at night, one soldier of the Military Security Branch, affiliated with the Syrian government forces, survived a failed assassination attempt in Ataman village, on the outskirts of Syria’s southern city of Daraa.

Anonymous people placed an IED near the residence of Khalid Abdullah al-Rifa’i in Atman, a local source told North Press.

The IED detonated leaving material damage; however, al-Rifa’i survived, the source said.

Al-Rifa’i was the target of several assassinations, the last of which was in June 2020, when unknown people planted an IED in his vehicle. Al-Rifa’i was wounded severely and was hospitalized to Daraa city, the source said.

Al-Rifa’i joined the Syrian opposition armed factions when they controlled Syria’s south but in the summer of 2018, he joined the Military Security Branch, affiliated with the Syrian government.
