An AFP photographer saw a person "head injuries" in a city hospital. The two people buried were a young girl, Ibtissam Massalmeh, and a doctor, Ali Ghoudab al- Mahamid, both killed in the night by police, said the activist. At the same time, exchanges of fire took place between security forces and protesters around the al-Omari, which became their rallying point round which took place on the night festivities, according to an AFP news hound who has seen a casualty. Deraa, a hundred miles south of Damascus, is encircled by the army and the anti-terrorist forces. In the afternoon, the streets were deserted and most shops closed. |
