And at dawn today, Damascus Government forces stormed the city of Jassim in the northern countryside of Daraa, and surrounded some residential buildings, in an attempt to arrest a group of local gunmen who rejected the "compromises".

Against the background of this, violent clashes erupted between the two parties, and as a result, schools did not open their doors and movement almost completely ceased in the city, amid confirmed information about casualties, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

And yesterday, Monday, new military reinforcements for the forces of the Damascus government arrived in the city of Daraa in southern Syria, stationed in the old customs, silos, the municipal stadium and areas of Daraa al-Balad and al-Mahatta.

These reinforcements coincide with the eleventh anniversary of the start of the Syrian crisis, and the calls by activists to hold demonstrations in Daraa to commemorate the anniversary, according to the SOHR.
