Three members of Syria's security forces killed in southern Syria attack by outlawed group
It remains unclear who the perpetrators were in the clash in southern Syria. There are tensions closer to Israel in villages near Quneitra, where locals complain of weekly IDF raids and shelling.
Three members of Syria's Internal Security Forces perished in an attack near the Golan border region in southern Syria. The incident occurred in the city of Sanamayn, situated approximately sixty kilometers south of Damascus. According to ANHA news, "three members of the Internal Security Forces were killed during a security raid on a house in the city of Sanamayn, which was followed by clashes with a number of wanted individuals, amid heightened security tensions and a curfew imposed in the city."
Syrian state media reported that the security forces were searching for a wanted individual when the attack took place. The outlawed armed group responsible for the assault opened fire on the security patrol, resulting in a clash between the forces and the assailants. While the report did not identify the outlawed group, Syria has faced threats from various terrorist organizations in the past.
The government media reported that security forces remain deployed across Sanamayn and are actively pursuing members of the group and others involved in the attack. A temporary curfew was imposed in Sanamayn until the security situation stabilizes. Victims identified by ANHA included Mustafa Saad al-Din, Salloum al-Masalmeh, and Nael al-Safadi.
