Three civilians; identified as 39-year-old Anas Ibrahim al-Kour, 34-year-old Bassil Abdul Karim al-Msalma, and a five-year-old child named Udai Mohammad al-Kour all from Daraa al-Balad area, were killed on October 6, 2023, by the explosion of an improvised explosive device (IED) whose source we have not yet been able to identify on the road connecting Daraa al-Balad area and the agricultural area known as al-Shayyah in southern Daraa governorate.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that Anas and Bassil are former opposition fighters. They received a settlement card in July 2018 when Syrian regime forces took over the governorate. They have completely retired from military life since then and have been working as merchants.

The area is currently under the control of Syrian regime forces. SNHR is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident. SNHR condemns all bombings targeting civilians. We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in their areas, to investigate this incident, and to make the findings of the investigation known to the public. Syria will never have true stability without a genuine political transition process towards democracy within a fixed timetable.
