Twenty-two persons will be displaced from Southern Syria to the North under the supervision of the Fifth Division and the Russian military police, after the city of Tafas in the western countryside of Daraa was targeted early on Thursday with rockets and missiles by the forces of the Fourth Division, which are stationed in a building adjacent to the city and Tal al-Jumuh.
Buses arrived at the old customs in Daraa al-Balad on Thursday afternoon to transport wanted persons and families wishing to be displaced, with the insistence of Muhammad al-Masalma, nicknamed “Hafu” and Moaied Harfoush not to leave the area.
The two men had pledged before the city’s clans to leave the region and accept displacement, which paved the way for an agreement with the Russian side and the Security Committee. But they suddenly went back on their decision, which led to the resumption of military actions.
Activists said that more than 25 rockets and shells fell on residential neighborhoods and the popular market in the city in the early hours of the morning, causing three deaths and 10 injuries among civilians.
Shells also fell in the vicinity of a school in the city of Tafas, while students were attending summer courses. A state of panic and terror prevailed over the educational facility, which closed immediately.
Meanwhile, a number of Syrian regime forces were killed or wounded on Thursday morning in an attack on a military vehicle carrying food for the soldiers on the road between Sheikh Miskeen and Nawa in the western countryside of Daraa.
Syrian regime forces raided some houses in the city of Sheikh Miskeen and arrested around ten people on charges of committing acts against the Syrian state.
Activists expected that military actions would move to the areas of the western countryside of Daraa, especially Tafas, Muzayrib and Yaduda, especially with the arrival of military reinforcements over the past few days.
