Anti-regime protests | Locals hold mass demonstration in Tafas, as regime forces continue to bring in military reinforcement to rural Daraa

Daraa governorate – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

The Syrian Observatory has monitored this evening a mass demonstration, roaming the streets of Tafas city in countryside of Daraa. The demonstrators chanted against regime forces, which are still bringing in military reinforcement and sectarian militias into the area, preparing for a full incursion into the southern region.

The Syrian Observatory monitored, during the past days and hours, large military build-ups of regime forces and loyalists in Daraa countryside.

Regime forces brought in new military reinforcement to Al-Sheikh Miskin, Al-Sheikh Sa’ad, Tal Al-Khudor, Al-Sarw checkpoint, Ataman and Al-Yadoudah in the western countryside of Daraa.

Meanwhile, tension is prevailing in Al-Muzayrib, amid popular concern of a looming military operation by regime forces, in order to arrest former opposition commander who killed nine regime affiliates days ago.

Furthermore, regime forces have brought in more military reinforcement to the 52nd and the 38th Brigades, east of Daraa, in order to fortify their positions after the assassinations escalated dramatically there.
