Daraa | Civil uprising continues against regime forces and Iranian militias

Daraa governorate – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

SOHR eyewitnesses say that new demonstrations took place in Daraa province this evening in the city of Tafas, Sahim Al-Golan area and all the countryside of Daraa, demanding Iranian militias leave the area. The demonstrators have chanted “Free Syria, Iran out”.

Escalating tension and widespread popular resentment are prevailing throughout Daraa province in the wake of large military build-ups brought in recently by regime forces, preparing for a large-scale military operation in the coming hours or days.

The popular resentment in Daraa has evolved to a new uprising against the Syrian regime, as demonstrations went out in Daraa Al-Balad in Daraa city and Tafas city in western countryside, in which the protesters chanted “long live Syria, down with Bashar Al-Assad.”

Syrian Observatory sources reported last night that a mass demonstration took out to the streets of Tafas city in Daraa countryside. The demonstrators chanted anti-regime slogans, as regime forces still bringing in military reinforcement and sectarian militias into the area, preparing for a full incursion into the southern region.
