FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Syria has pledged to withdraw all military units from towns by April 10 to
pave the way for a ceasefire with rebels two days later, though Western
envoys were sceptical on Monday about Damascus’ intent to halt its year-long
assault on opponents.
Clashes broke out on Tuesday between Syrian troops and rebels as the regime
sent reinforcements into some hot spots, despite Assad’s pledge to implement
a peace plan.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighting was taking place in
various parts of the country including in the southern province of Dera’a,
in northwest Idlib province, in central Homs and near the capital.
In Dera’a, cradle of the one-year uprising against Assad’s regime, fighting
erupted overnight in the town of Inkhel after rebels attacked army
checkpoints.
In the same region, dozens of troop carriers arrived in the town of Dael,
where the army carried out raids and arrests the day before.
Sayyed Mahmud, an activist in Dera’a reached by Skype, told AFP the situation
was extremely tense in the town.
“They burned down 14 houses yesterday. They are arresting people and have
sent in troop reinforcements,” he said.
“As part of the regime’s campaign to starve the people, troops are
raiding homes, destroying food stocks and equipment. They go into bakeries
and destroy the dough. There are 15-hour power cuts a day.”
In Idlib, heavy fighting was taking place on the outskirts of the town of
Taftanaz, where two civilians and four soldiers were killed amid heavy
machinegun fire and shelling, the Observatory said.
“Four civilians have been wounded and several homes torched,” it
added. “Rebels managed to disable a troop carrier and have killed or
wounded a number of government troops.”
Clashes killed a civilian elsewhere in the province.
In Damascus province, fighting was reported in the towns of Douma and in
Zabadani, where the army was carrying out arrests and raiding homes.
The Observatory said dozens of troop carriers had arrived in Zabadani early in
the morning.
In central Homs, three civilians were killed in shelling of the city’s Bayyada
neighbourhood while regime forces backed by tanks were said to be moving on
the region of Hula.
