Few minutes only, after the negotiations between the Central Operations Room and the Russian side has ended, when Russia's warplanes resumed their raids on the residential neighborhoods in Daraa countryside, meanwhile, Assad's helicopters dropped barrel bombs on the town of Saida.
This bombardment is an attempt by Russia and Assad regime to put pressure on the opposition factions in order to hand over their heavy weapons, and to surrender under the Russian conditions which the factions have already rejected.
The factions asserted that they haven't lost the war, and they will not declare surrender, nor they will announce submission to the Russian conditions.
In the same context the Central Operations Room declared destroying a machine gun 23 mm in the eastern countryside of Daraa. Meanwhile, the opposition factions, in a response to targeting of Saida, have shelled the source of fire with the available weapons.
