RNA - The websites reported that Omar al-Maf'alani, nom de guerre Abu Hafas, was killed in a booby-trapped explosion in his car in the town of Seyda in Eastern Dara'a.

The websites further said that Abu Hafas was an executive staff in Dar al-Adl court of the terrorist groups in Eastern Dara'a.

Reports said last month that assassination of commanders of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) significantly increased after intensified clashes between the FSA and the rival terrorist group of ISIL in the Southern province of Dara'a.

Naser Khalil Mahasenah, commander of the FSA-affiliated Jeish Ababil, was killed along with several of his aids in a booby-trapped attack on his cars on a road connecting the towns of Zamrin and al-Hareh to each other in Northwestern Dara'a.

Sharif al-Kayed, another military commander of the FSA, was kidnapped on al-Karak al-Sharqi's road to al-Harak region in the Eastern countryside of Dara'a by unknown attackers.

The FSA and the ISIL engaged in fierce clashes in the towns of Jalin, Hit and Odwan in the Western countryside of Dara'a.
