[NPASYRIA] Syrian government forces killed on Tuesday a man and injured his brother in the city of al-Sheikh Maskin in the countryside of Daraa, southern Syria.
A local source told North Press that the government forces fatally shot at Salah al-Hamlan and injured his brother Rashed on the outskirts of al-Sheikh Maskin.
The government forces carried the dear departed’s body away and transferred the injured, who was in a critical condition, to the Public Hospital in Daraa, the source added.
The two brothers, who hail from Bedouin tribes in the Governorate of Suwayda, had been living in Daraa for several years, the source noted.
They are accused of killing two coppers, Ahmad Zakariya al-Wadi and Imad Muhammad al-Safadi, on June 14 and 15, according to the same source.
State-run SANA News Agency reported that security forces managed to arrest the leader of a "terrorist" cell, whereas one of its members, who was accused of killing two coppers and a soldier was, killed.
Since the government forces re-captured Daraa in 2018, the governorate has been living in a state of insecurity, with daily liquidations targeting soldiers and officers of the government forces, as well as the spread of thefts.
