Meet the luckiest man in Syria.

This resident of the besieged city of Daraa took a moment to consider what might have been Monday as he examined a ground-to-ground missile that failed to explode when it landed.

The ordnance is believed to have been fired by forces fighting for the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The southern Syrian city, just 13 miles north of the border with Jordan, has reportedly been the scene of fighting between anti-government rebels and the Syrian army, which has been backed up by Russian air power.

Meanwhile in the northern part of the country, US-backed forces battled with Islamic State terrorists in a strategic town near the defacto-ISIS capital of Raqqa.

The fighting — which included air strikes by the US-backed coalition — centered on the town of Tabqa, near an important dam on the Euphrates River.

Late on Sunday, forces that included both Arabs and Kurds seized the city’s airport. The fighting stopped only so that technicians could enter the dam site to ensure it was sound.

“There is no damage to the dam or its function . . . and on this basis, the cease-fire ended,” said Jihan Sheik Ahmed, spokeswoman for the anti-ISIS forces.

Seizing the town is believed to be an important step toward making an assault on ISIS’s stronghold in Raqqa.
