“Explosions shook Zamalke, Hamuriya, Douma, Harasta and we have confirmed reports that the headquarters of the security services in Harasta was hit,” the organization added in a statement it issued.

The Syrian Observatory Chief Rami Abdul Rahman was quoted by AFP as saying that “five members of the Security Forces and the Syrian Army were martyred while clashing with militants in Daraa.”
