Four members of the Syrian police were martyred Sunday and another was injured following an ambush carried out by armed terrorists in the vicinity of al-Jamal roundabout in Daraa, a Syrian city close to the Jordanian borders.
Syrian state news agency SANA cited sources as saying the ambush took place at 7:30 AM as a police patrol was heading from Daraa to Tafas to provide security for examination centers.
The terrorists opened fire at the patrol, killing four policemen and injuring one other before fleeing the scene.
The martyrs died at the scene, a source at Daraa National Hospital told SANA, noting that the hospital received the bodies of the four martyrs and that the necessary treatment was being provided to the fifth officer, who was described as "seriously wounded".
This comes after an earlier terrorist attack claimed the life of one man and injured two others.
The attack saw two drones targeting the outskirts of the city of Al-Qardahah in the Lattakia countryside and the town of Deir Shamil in the Hama countryside.
The state-run Syrian news agency SANA cited a security source as saying that one of the two missiles fired by a drone in Lattakia fell in agricultural lands next to Al-Qardaha clinic, killing 25-year-old Mohammad Hani Sultana and injuring another citizen, while causing minor material damage to a building.
