Daraa province: SOHR activists have reported a state of tension in Nawa city in western Daraa, where members of local factions blocked public roads, protesting the arrest of a young man in Al-Quneitra province a week ago.

The protestors demanded immediate release of the young man, threatening to escalate the situation and launch attacks against regime forces in city in the case that their demands were not fulfilled.
Local faction have frequently blocked roads and detained regime soldiers and officers to exert pressure on regime forces to release prisoners, at a time when the region experiences growing public anger over the ongoing arrest of civilians.
