(Adnkronos) – Spotlight also on Daraa, in southern Syria, the cradle of the 2011 uprising. CNN speaks of a new insurrection underway in this province, far from the areas that are the scene of the offensive by anti-Assad forces that are at the gates of Homs. Videos geolocated by CNN show fighters taking control of a road near the border with Jordan, south of the city of Daraa.
The US network reports videos showing dozens of men on motorcycles heading north. And of a video showing a ‘Free Syria’ flag hoisted in the town of Dael, north of the city of Daraa, along one of the main roads leading to the capital Damascus.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry in Amman has confirmed the closure of a border crossing with Syria (Jaber-Nassib).
