The demonstrators voiced their rejection of the blockade and the closure of all routes leading to the two neighborhoods. Hundreds of civilians faced the Transitional Government Forces, chanting slogans that praised the steadfastness of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh and called for reopening the roads and allowing the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to enter the area.

Earlier in the afternoon, the Transitional Government Forces in Syria had shut down all access roads to the two neighborhoods, provoking widespread public outrage and prompting residents to take to the streets to protest the siege and restrictions imposed on their communities.
