After the residents of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods went to the checkpoints surrounding the two neighborhoods to break the imposed siege, Damascus government intensified the checkpoints on the two besieged neighborhoods.

A number of well-informed sources told ANHA that members of the Fourth Division had resorted to the Military Security Branch, which set up checkpoints, along with the Fourth Division and the State Security Branch of the Damascus government.

Activists confirmed to ANHA that the current scenes remind them of the scenes in 2012 when the Damascus government used military force to deal with the demonstrations that came out to improve in the country's living conditions.

This policy eventually led to putting the country in a cycle of war that has been raging for more than 11 years. .

Worth to note that Damascus's Fourth Division has imposed a suffocating siege on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods since the 13th of last March.
