Pro-Iranian factions bomb besieged neighborhoods of Syria’s Daraa
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday at dawn, pro-Iranian factions targeted the besieged neighborhoods of Daraa city, south Syria, with artillery and missile shells, causing massive damage to people’s houses.
The factions targeted the neighborhoods of Daraa al-Balad, Tariq al-Sad, and the nearby IDP camps with more than 50 surface-to-surface missiles. The bombing left material damage and cut most of the roads, without any casualties reported, local sources told North Press.
For more than two months, government forces and pro-Iranian factions have been seizing neighborhoods of Daraa and closing most of the roads leading to them.
“The humanitarian situation in the besieged neighborhoods has intensified due to the frequent shelling for two days, amid loss of flour, food, medicine, electricity, and drinking water,” Central Committee spokesperson in Daraa Adnan al-Masalma told North Press.
The reason behind the intensification of bombing and targeting of civilian neighborhoods is the Central Committee’s rejection of what it calls “impossible” conditions and proposals of the government forces and Russia.
“All the countries failed Daraa residents and are only watching them be targeted by pro-Iranian factions in the besieged neighborhoods of Daraa for 67 days,” al-Masalma added.
On Saturday, dozens of residents of Ma’raba town, in the eastern countryside of Daraa, protested in solidarity with the besieged neighborhoods, according to local sources.
Some of the residents cut the main road in Jasim city in the northern countryside of Daraa in solidarity with the besieged citizens in the city, the sources added.
