According to field correspondents, the bombardment coincides with ongoing attempts by the government forces to storm both neighborhoods using tanks and armored vehicles from several directions.

Moments earlier, the same forces opened live fire on demonstrators in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh who were calling for the reopening of blocked roads. Several civilians were injured as a result, prompting the Internal Security Forces in the two neighborhoods to respond to the sources of fire, leading to armed clashes.

Earlier in the evening, large crowds from various components in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh gathered near the barricades and earthen mounds erected by the government forces at the entrances to the districts, expressing their rejection of the road closures and demanding that the routes be reopened.
