Qatana:
--------------
The city enjoyed a relatively peaceful day interrupted by Assad security gangs deployment in the vicinity of the court building in the morning without reporting any case of arrest. The city also experienced a power outage for more than four hours. Soil mounds were reinforced and an extra one was added in the neighbourhood of Almaarah yesterday. The city has still been under the persistent Assadi ocupation with continuous closure of the road to Damascus through Moudamiyah; and the only way out is still through Sabourah. Sounds of artillery heavy shelling from the surrounding Barracks targeting the neighboring areas were heard shaking the city as usual in the evening. A picture shows a soil barrier near the high school:

Khan Esheih/ Drousha:
-----------------------------
A normal movement was enjoyed by the camp marked by hearing sounds of war planes overflights . In the afternoon, a shell fell in the vicinity of the Millitary Housing in the direction of Sharaf Street. While in the evening, shelling by rocket launchers resumed on the camp and its surrounding, where several rockets fell on the eastern neighbourhood as well as the water tank and the main road. The fall of many rockets resumed on the farms of Khan Esheih, the beginning of the camp, inside Algaleel Learning Driving School and at Sharaf Street and its surrounding leaving huge material damage only, while no casualities were reported. This was accompanied by power outage in the camp as well as poor mobile communications. A videoshows the traetment of a civilianinjured due to the regime shelling two days ago:
