The Syrian military has begun searching houses in residential areas, looking for weapons and improvised explosive devices planted by militants.
Militants who refused to lay down their arms and reconcile are strengthening their positions in a Palestinian camp in Daraa al-Balad and in the Al-Sed district.
The situation in the Syrian province of Daraa significantly deteriorated in August, when terrorists attacked state institutions and the local army, killing four soldiers and wounding eight more.
